I Am

I am a stone in a bottomless pit
Brittle and dusty like the moon
I am the old one in the caverns of the night
Restless from the slumber of a thousand years
Lean and hungry like the wild dogs of Carthage
before the dreams of Roman conquest

My people are awakening to a new age
spawned by the industry of man
Living on the dreams of vapor trails
and oblivion
