Interpret however you want

Pit

Look up the black gravel
slide down again
the glittering sound as rocks cascade down

the pit in the center glows and steams
eggs rotten rise in the mist

Climb and slide and slide

knees touch the hot stones
sweat drips through them down

Get up and run and slide and slide

The horizon high and sharp

For one million years yet younger than the stars

Get up
