In Your Cave Poem by RIC BASTASA

in your cave
there is no sun
man-made
or superficial
or whatever

and so darkness
reigns
complete darkness
and when he mentions
about shadows
do not believe him

in your cave
there was complete
silence too
and so when he talked
about a dialogue
between two
speakers
do not ever believe him

in your cave
there was no life ever
and when he talked about
death
and numbness and indifference

that was then when i believed him
and i agreed
that indeed that man has his own name
