Back To The Cave Poem by Damion Hamilton

Back To The Cave



The cities began to be too much

back to the cave, where I am alone

the caves we build for ourselves,

to steel ourselves against, are nerves

and tingling anxiety

you must feel some anxiety, as i feel it,

a girl next to me asks for a drink

Life has overwhelmed her,and that's okay

I relate,my nerves get shot too dude

and I am told about yoga and deep breathing,

while I just want to sleep through the mornings, yet

money must be made

for what?

I don't know?

Yet, food is nice,

I guess

Terrific poem, Damion. Our urban landscape is one of caves. To be sure, they are poured concrete, zoned and regulated, but they are caves to satisfy our most basic physical needs. What you raise is the issue of the urban cave failing to tend to the inner needs. When that becomes crucial, retreat within! A great, thought-provoking work, Damion.
