““Become desert, the great silty gobs Rise up in whirlwinds and subsist under miasma Of sediments aloft: dust-storms inherit The powerful cells of the old gorals: The vacated seabed's stark unfinished frame Roils with lightnings and thunders down to the trenches Which despite centuries keep filling in With an oily ooze pressed from corpse Sargassos In a chain of trapdoor--bottom Dead Seas By mile-deep muds laid down as secret essence Of all the ingenuities fielded above. In them the newest become most ancient mires. Profound air clubs like a meteor-hammer The misfits weaned more in shallows, but the bones, The kraken carapaces, litter both Guys-slope and plain, can yon and domdaniel Rearing like cere brat ranges from the chat Of midge-mollusks uncountable, minor life..””
