somewhere
in the world
there is a cave<\/p>\n

and the eye that looks from it
sees the star of arabia<\/p>\n

years have passed
the eye, unblinking
looks from it<\/p>\n

pale, dark, written with red
sees the star of arabia<\/p>\n

the wind blows
the sand is rewritten
the eye, unblinking<\/p>\n

there is a cave
in the world
pale, dark, written with red<\/p>\n

somewhere
and the eye that looks from it<\/p>\n
