I am lost, and the cave is blue All facets of it, some faded, some sure Crystal tears flicker on the jagged White eyes, the stones speak nothing Merely blink as the turnings of lights In keen grey wells of silence My life, as a ragged brush, paints The night to be raw and torn Leaves the canvas blank for a moon Throughout the sky are pinned My letters to the world, flip-flopping As wild wind horses hop about them But in the day, in its darkness I can recall nothing of the colours The walls scuttle away from me And the cave, though endless, shrinks I sit down into the shape of an insect And feel the firm embrace of lone Of stone, I begin to feel myself of stone I rush to the waters, they rush to me Bleak blue turns me over, takes me Through months, I sail its roudy mouth Blissfully unseeing and faceless Until the coin of the sun flips And blackness washes everything clean The sea still, sags to rock, entombs Itself and me. I am lost, and the cave Is blue
