REVISED
opus: earth
deep, deep within
miles below the surface we know
igneous fluids slurp
burble
liquescent fingernails
crevice claws
quartertones in Vulcan’s song
the flare barely noticed
at 93 million miles
EM waves
bombard, build
bow at the poles
auroras sing to dawn
isobars narrow
over the Pacific
shunt swells westward
peaceful shoreline waits
shush, shush
ORIGINAL-
magma opus
deep, deep within
miles below the surface we know
igneous fluids slurp
burble
liquescent fingers
crevice claws
quartertones in Vulcan’s song
