under an ocean of sleep
unfinished stories prowl the caves
looking for a way out
they might settle for dreams
but would prefer
to launch themselves into the light
ad nothing to do with their birth
they do not know and don't care
that people in the light now
had nothing to do with their birth
they do not even know that now is years later
they do not know how much stronger they are
only that they are hungrier than ever
and the caves have begun to feel cramped
unsatisfying unrewarding
and that whatever scents excite them
move through the waters strongly
and they are not interested, thank you
in feeding on each other
they crave an ending but not mine
yours, perhaps, might do
