Passing Through

I live in a town where I've never

seen the sun.

the clouds are thick,

grey and stagnant

as they hang over our

heads.

Air that is as frigid as it is crisp,

burning our lungs

while we walk from place

to place.

We cower beneath the frozen and desolate

mountains we mine;

they are of soot and bone

supernaturally humming at us.

Faces are rare

around here, but

If you happen to see one,

look the other way.
