Their trying to find the cause of the darkness

they start
locked inside
tangled veins
worthy of a lot of time

this route
covered,
waiting for construction
that doesn't seem to ever come

soon
they'll give up
pack their tools
find something new

and so
with conversations sparse
lack of gentle pleasant warmth
the last push
they'll find something sparkly and bright

then realize
in the end
the entry to the darkness
simply started in my *mind
