The voices blend and fuse
in clouded silence
Grey twilight ever descends,
never falls
Shedding her dusk
Scattering stars

She follows her mother
with ungainly steps
Meek apprehensive skull
They fade, sad fantoms all
All is gone
Agendath is a wasteland
A home of screech owls
and the sandblind
Netaim the golden is no more
On the highway of the clouds
they come
Muttering thunder of rebellion
The ghosts of beasts
Huuh! Hark (Hawk)! Huuh!
Parallax stalks behind
and goads them
The lancinating lightnings of
whose brow are scorpions
Elk and yak, the bulls of
Bashon and Babylon,
Mammoth and mastodon,
they come
trooping to the sunken sea
Lacus Mortis
Ominous, revengeful, zodiacal host
Onward to the dead sea
they tramp to drink,
Unslaked and with
horrible gulpings,
The salt somnolent
inexhaustible flood.
They moan, passing
upon the clouds
Horned and capricorned
The trumpeted with the tusked
The lion-maned and giant-antlered
Snouter and crawler
Rodent, ruminant, pachyderm
All their
moving moaning multitude
Murderers of the sun
The equine portent grows again
Magnified in the deserted heavens
