This is the whole seed of the world, the pressure washing jagged rock
In impossible waves, sped-up real-time erosion while we watch trudging feet in hot mud
We watched the current in overpowering waves
The prehistoric icthyosaurs and and monsters of the deep taking down whole ships of aberrant men, this abomination consumed
The salt of the sea knows no pirates, but its own vengeful consumption...
Feasted upon by cephalopods, furtively squirting ink in their retreat
The writhing machinery of this breathing Earth...
Minerals deposited in shallow seas, mollusks, and blue-green algae crawling on the sea floor
Hot bacterial slime in invisible, radiant motion
The writhing of this breathing Earth
