The Cave Ceiling

The Cave Ceiling

The walls of his caverns preach
Til sunlight pours
Through their serpentine faults

In the dark they mourn
Over full lives fallen
From his young iron hands;
Branded by death

The ceiling leers down
Holding back the night sky,
The full weight of lost battles
Meant to fall with rage
And turn him to dust
