I heard the lost cry out

From deep beneath the ground

So I went to caves entrance

And let dark, stone-toothed maw

Swallow me whole

That I might rescue the lost;

Down and further still

Until even the echoes

Of my calling, hopeful voice

Were consumed by earth’s appetite

So I opened my mouth to scream

I heard the lost cry out

And recognized the voice

It was my own self-siren call

Luring me within myself
