A bolt
holding together
the seams
of earth
& ether
detached
from somewhere
deep under
the sea,
tumbled down
across darkness
& sunshine
dew
piercing
through,
casting the abyss
away,
until it was thrown
out into the barren
fields
of damp sand
& foam,
where earth
& ether
merlted together
now roam
& quaver.
