astrid undoing

Astrid her marble mind unrolled three moons,

     Revealing a cornice light-lingered;

Oceans bloomed boiling awake,

     Birthing Astrid's columnar granite fingers.


Comet shreds raining, night dazzled arcade,

     Astrid's stride many wakes blazing;

Water wall syncline, harbinger promenade,

     Gasping fire tracers liquefied pacing,


Her pegasus hooves red-snowing, mineral fusions,

     Astrid undid sphere's buttons atoned;

Uprising eternal, core blasted confusions, contusions,

     Answering mountainous, forlorn.  


Bang bigly my mantle, Astrid announcing life,

Heap zillions neath time, make oil your knife.
