they led to a place through a hole in the ground
where I could sing with the demons

the walls were cold and the feeling alone
was something hard to place

it moved with me within it
and the sky was a blur of sound

the gargantuan, seismic, blue wonder
where they drew plumes and smiles in the cloud

I then erased all I knew of the world
when the shadows provided only nonsense

music reverberated and clutched me
mad faces contorted through smoke

they led to a place through a hole in the ground
and I’ve never returned since that day

they proclaimed that I’m one of their brood now
despite the shaking I’ve no reason to worry
