All around me:

planet, moon, sun, riverbed, marsh:

grew out of cataclysms galore;

nothing ever sprang whole, stays put.

I feel the earth beneath my feet

suddenly shale away;

everywhere I look there’s a new disaster,

and what splintered the mountains

made gape the pine.

A spelunker’s dream,

Phobos and Deimos (Fear & Terror)

chug past, catacombed to the hilt

from all those years

of knocking about, and blacker

than the blackest pitchblende.

They look two prehistoric skulls

unearthed by a Leakey

in some intimate recess of Olduvai Gorge;

you can just make out

the eye socket and jaw, the sunken cheek

and forehead spur.
