Look now the drip-stone
Crashing silently splash-less waters
But the endlessly small
Care little for these things
Stand a while sit
And walk with dry honey
Salivating a constant time
In silence to be lost
Walk awhile awestruck
Does tiredness take away
Or turn sleepless into sleepers
Overnight to day slowly
Wander aimless
Drink in the sky
Illuminating larvae
Falling stars shoot
Do these take to sleep
Forever they do
These cavernous caverns
And slippery slopes
"The Cavern" begins with the scene of drip-stone falling into water so till it makes no sound. It describes the tiny organisms and even the micro-plankton and how the crashing above cannot affect their tiny world.
You sit on the bank of the water and dream of honey but the taste sits dry in your mouth. The taste is lost to you, deep in the caves.
It tells you to walk for a bit to get tired. Asks if being tired will allow you to only sleep a while. Or if you will go to sleep forever. It tells of how the night turns to day so slowly so you can't tell whether it's day or night.
Wander aimlessly, without purpose anymore. Look up at the ceiling only to see bio-luminescent bugs glowing on the ceiling, resembling stars and shooting stars.
It asks one more time if the sleep is forever. It answers for you, yes, it does. One last time it reviews the huge Cavern, the ***** you will go down one last time.
