Brandon Cole - Cave

Earth all around, darkness, cold, death,
Walls of rock,
Enclosed on the space around you.

Sound of rubble,
Sound of fall,
Sound of witness not being seen.

Earth all around, black, tense, strong,
Walls of might,
Enclosed on the space around you.

Sound of wound,
Sound of hit,
Sound of strength from everywhere,

Earth all around, gas, ignition, collapse,
Walls of weakness,
Enclosed on the space around you.

Sound of engine,
Sound or rescue,
Sound of help and death everywhere.

Earth all around, light, tunnel, salvage,
Walls of light coming in front,
Unenclosed on a space.

Sound of collapse,
Sound of tremble,
Sound of implosion not seen.
