Behind the Falls
Written May 1999.

Decending by elevator
1280 feet below ground
Through solid rock
Walk through tunnels
Filled with orange light

Portal one...
The falls at the side
Less than five feet away

Portal two...
The falls in front of us
The side of the falls
You feel its powerful gush

Portal three...
The middle of the falls
Wet from the showers

Up the elevator
Reaching ground level
Away from the tunnels
Away from the orange light
