This Cave of Mine
Stone walls with ornate designs;
expectations.
Radiant crystal gems all around;
all forms of perfection.
The Screen of Life, front and center;
the only contact.
No opening, no visitors.
No interference.
Silence,
except for the occasional raindrop
leaking from above.
With no opening, however,
I begin to suffocate.
The cave grows in volume.
I’m smaller, smaller,
but still, I begin to suffocate.
Raindrops to drizzles;
drizzles to torrents;
the cave walls
erode.
Porous are the cave walls;
many openings, still no visitors.
Blinding are the crystal gems;
I must comply with their will.
Glitching is the Screen of Life;
all I can do is turn around.
Water floods it all.
Still no visitors.
Where do—
The hammer cocks back;
silence,
except for the rain shower inside my home.
