Undulating black globe
Soaked in filthgiving mist
Unending trails, grey gra**
Amber sings on velvety black
Phobos transpiring
This enclosing openness
Stretching a ox hide tent
Across an infinite space
Caves open to plains
This has always been the way
We are recalling now
This is sacrificial land
Beneath burdened brow
An empty cavity
A burning ox heart lies
Upon a soggy field
Stinging smoke wafts across
Overwhelming the damp air
Distantly, a voice ululating
From beneath a twisting arch
Too distant; distorted
By elements and time
"These imposters sold charms that made people invulnerable
In warfare and fortunate in hunting and preserved them from all danger"
The homeostasis of a species
Like a pendulum knocking
And then overcompensating
Artificial magnificence
Godlike reconstructionism
Beneath uncaring whims
A Minotaur with impunity
This cycle unwinding:
Irrefragable but undefinable
