the stone which contains
all laws and facts, all eras and time

elevators lifting God knows where

those landscapes you cannot see

the taste of gold 

Blue powder illuminates last words.

Gorgon wreaths of bladder wrack

An awareness is dawning

And what do you write?

yellow flags fall 

Under father time

the song became

your voice

An eternity under water

the value of old chicken bones 

and rotting teeth

existence
marks
the spot
