Into the Cave

Race me to the fenceless wasteland of the night, where solid things

Melt in twilight. Take me deeper; enter private ground

In night frame all comes alive – my mind’s on safari for the raw

I don’t want the factual life – its a knee-jerk reaction

To solid things felt on the Outside. Come in deeper; enter unlit ground

I’ve been living without living without living without living –

Racing through the acres of internal life

I’m turning away, taking free rein. There’s nothing but the motion

The blades of turbines turn the dark, cutting deeper;

Paring me down. And is it hide and seek you want to play with me?

Fine lines thread the face; a threat barely visible

Frost on forehead; details in moments erase

Into the Cave; interior is sparkling black – a place of concealments

With a view to the island of Zero

Race me to the fenceless wasteland of the night

Where solid things melt in twilight

Take me deeper, deeper now; into private ground

Where I can enter, I can enter, I can enter

Tonight, tonight tonight
