Untergang

As I lay

At rest

I saw a vast tunnel

Before me

Its cavernous maw

Vaulted ceiling

Smooth black walls

Sloping down

Into the Earth

Silent

Empty

Light consumed

Into the distant

Vanishing point.

I stode

Ahead

My boots clicking

On the stone

My steps swinging

My breath measured.

This tunnel

Its gentle slope

Takes me down

To my Untergang.
