Hollow Ways of the Worm

Stepping away from a genial place to pursue the unknown

perfection, as is whispered by elders, owning the fire

light that dances around the black pits of tribal lore

and desire – one left to seek eternity;  another must

stand and follow the unfamiliar path to the horizon

where tomorrows wait to become the old stories

that traverse the generations across the ages

forming the hollow ways of the worm – turn.
