The Rule of Holes :
Stop digging .

The pile of potential energy
Increases . The probability of
Escape diminishes .

Cavernous shade :
Crack the crust covered in dust
Until the mantel melts the
Metallic blade,

The crack of ash
Like a breaking backbone .

Fade into the catacomb
Dint of decades and not a
Hint of golden core—
Just more dust .

Past table dampness,
The holed soul
Flows in lava lampness,
Falling low enough
To rise again,

And find an exit from the cavity
In transit at the source of gravity .
