Sea Caves (!לים)

Not one for exploring,
But there are riches
never seen, but no
one's ever gone that deep.

Or, maybe it's just me.

(I could never climb in that deep)

The tide is bound to overflow
Not even the gods can stop its rage.
And while the winds blow out from deep within
More fall deeper into the caves.

"I have been devoured!"
"I have seen the light!"
"Me encantaría volver a respirar!"
"Hay más que han caído en las cuevas!"
"Piden limosna cada día!"
"Están atrapados para siempre!"

And so I will swim away,
Or let the tide swallow me
and take me away to
a shore in another world,
Like Esteban, to be admired
again and again.

Somewhere further,

Repetition

A broken stone has rolled down this hill before.
