large and labyrinthine, so similar to

the corridors and caves of home.

But I am afraid, and up I flew

until I reached the top.

I am afraid. Please. I want to go home,

but watch you creep ever closer. Please.

I will remain dust in your vision,

and I will not move until you leave.

Please. I will find my way out. I will Go.

that would trap me in your beastly nest

to catch me unawares. Until,

and I will kill you. Or at least, I Hope,
