Tunnel

Far off, a spark shines in the velvet dark,
speaking of exits and the outside world
while the blackness gathers around us
and the air lies heavy and thick on the skin.

A fumble for the switch and torchlight
pools on the blank rockface, a guide
down the narrow corridor of stifling night
that leads us ever deeper in mute silence.
