home is dark
tons of blue green waters
pressing the disk into sands
that never see the light of day
but this is darkness
subterranean
no home for a sand dollar
silence unbroken
far from joyful dolphins
or somber whales
still creatures live here
friendly with the night
alien to a pilgrim
only passing through
a cave that goes on and on
larger than any on earth
full of rooms forgotten and found
once the abode of many waters
running to the sea
now only condensation remains
in mammoth caverns
under tons of loamy dirt
no home for light
