Familiar Voices
July 22, 2022
I heard them
I swear.
It wasn't in my head
I swear.
It WAS in that cave that I went to yesterday
I swear.
It was in that hole that we saw through the formations
I swear.
It was their raspy voices
I swear.
I know it was those blasted smoke-filled explorers
I swear.
I know it was them
I swear.
I swear it was them.

I had gotten inspired to write this piece when my parents and I had been traveling and one of the places we had gone to had been a cave. While we were on a tour of the cave, based on the history that the tour guide had been telling us about, I had gotten an image in my mind of hearing voices of the explorers who had explored the cave decades ago, giving me the idea to write this poem.
