In the dark time slows, thought
turns in, grows
hermetic; jumbles
cloudy symbols
carved with soft stone
on flaking anchoritic walls.
Wakeful post shelf
life suspense
of animation continued;
still restlessly
counted
the days to come
as cells arrayed in a row,
cave people, the beehive
coke ovens
as little hermit houses.
