Subterraneaniana

Cave-ceilings trailing their shag
of stone jellyfish tentacles;
and the yearning stalagmites

bristling upwards, gorgonized
sound-baffles licking out reverb,
tubular silence: cold-wet,

the guts of stone hills, these,
the villi of the earth itself,
absorbing no nutrient but sound.
