Jesse Cardin - Inside the Cave of the Blue Dragon

Needle thread the seam
Between wake and dream
Pass through vertebral stile
Ensure painless arrival

The anesthetic shudders
Gasping impoverished air
Dive white fluorescent tunnels
Down to the deepest lair

We watch, we wait
We walk we wait
We breathe, we wait
We wonder

Veiled strangers intimate reach within
Pass the dragon through portal of skin

Emerging blue and trembling
From red somatic cave
Phoebus is humbled by this
Luminous face

Seven days we traveled down
Wandering a labyrinth underground
Navigate by feeling and sound
To where the end meets the beginning

Blind liminal hours
Slip by windowless walls
But in your blue gray pearls
We see it all

In terror, in wonder
Tripped out of time and place
In dreams and in shadows
We see your face

When I said I could not bear this burden
I was blinded by ignorance and fear
But I feel my heart begin to widen
Now you're here

Seven days we traveled down
Seeking treasure underground
Pressing on through ominous realms
We're at the end and the beginning

Seven days of traveling down
Retrieved the jewel from underground
Bleary-eyed and never so proud
Where do we end and you begin?
