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
