Have you lost your way now that the daylightâs snuffed, beyond one field too many, past plots best left
uncrossed? Is that our light you see blinking from the bend, the lure of camp spit smokingâhave you
found our cave? We came all this way and left all we were, to find ourselves new. Reborn, we are new!
We live in a cave. (In her dark we are new.)
Do you spy our shadows dancing on the rocks? Nude, we leap the flames and chant the wordless songs.
You later find the tunnel where we snore in piles like animals; you tiptoe but fail to see me smile. You
came all this way. Forget who you were. Find yourself new. Reborn, you are new! We live in a cave. (In
her dark we are new.)
Surprise! You hear the cacklingâmy wives have blocked the path. Still, you fight the groping tide of
hands that pull you back. Can you see the cave mouth? Or have you shut your eyes? Itâs dawning pink
out there, that birdsong bids farewell. We live in a cave. (In her dark we are new.) You live in a cave.
