  Blue space 

  endlessly stretching…


Beneath:


  Wind-twisted spruces 

  stick out scrawly

  on scorching sand,

  hysterical buzzing,

  nagging,

  belching and alleging,

  floundering,

  tumbling lengthwise,

  hastily burying.


Then:


  Under swaying surface:

  Depth,

  imperceptible undulation

  over soundless rock,

  numbing pulse,

  endlessly stretching…
