"A cloud gathers at the peak of a green mountain,
a living curtain of leaves that could have been a
garland laid to rest upon the brow of the stone
apex, where the clinging arms of roots recede and
give way to progressively whiter stone faces,
pockmarked and stoic, a wisdom of bones.

Beneath the Urth, the hollowed cavity of Hell
wells up, an ironclad chasm full with hot black air,
delivering the profane names of the great thralls
it has called downward, like a long hissing
poisonous tongue, curling into a meaningless
symbol, thrust into the narrowing ceiling of the
pyramid.

From a great distance apart, lowered eyes
consider the reverberant Urth, and the buried
dead. A hand turns, with an opened palm, and the
seas reply, enveloping the landscape, reclaiming
its long forgotten inheritance."
