The cavern beyond
the mouth of Ouroboros
is long
creatures live there
that shun the light
turn back when you have burned half of your torches
you will see the bones of those
who did not
if you go far enough
the creatures disappear
but acid fumes manifest
it is now too late
you are the foods of Ouroboros

Spoke about Pennsylvanian trace fossils to another group of retirees today. They really enjoyed it and had a lot of questions. Tomorrow night is national fossil day, and we will be there with a bunch of trace fossils to show kids and I hope many will be there. Today I'm also reviewing part of a master's thesis on cave geochemistry.
