The questions only lead me
to more questions.
I crawl
deeper
into the cavern
wind my way through tunnels
and chasms,
following trails
that circle over
each
other.
Answers remain scarce
elusive
broken
blurry
empty.
Climbing on queries,
slipping on
theories,
pondering concepts,
I pry open the systems,
throwing
pieces
aside.
Scraping my knees
on sharp rocks
and dead ends,
I head further in.
The cold walls hide clues
and bury them
in the dark corners.
I chase the shadows
as I trip
over
suspicions,
smack my head on a stalactite
and
fall
into another question.
