Well Gray I think this line gives the reason for the cracker state

'Love turns me into
A holocaust'

I like the way you extended the idea from eating crackers into a cave to you being the crackers (no pun intended *grin*)

My bones are hardened
Crackers, there it is
Again, you are what you
Eat! My skin is cracker
Crust, I taste like salt.

This reminds me of some of my more manic poetry but I see where you are coming from. I did enjoy this, even if it is rather sad but it does make you think.
