No Man's Land

I’m in a new world
Where the sun doesn’t shine
The moon doesn’t gleam
There is no other
I’m on my own
The world around me is small
Just big enough to fit in
I cannot see it
But I feel its presence
The presence of its four walls
Barely an arm’s reach apart
There is no grass
But in this place
Out of the Earth
I’m covered in earth
The beauty
And the terror of this world
Is that I’ll never die
I’ll be stuck
Or blessed to be
Here forever
I cannot decide
Whether it is good
Or it is terrible
But I know
That I have no choice
