UnEarth

Flame of ice, lamp of darkness,
Seas of gel, chains of silk,
Rolling, shifting, sands of hills.
Jagged, thorny, shafts of crowns.

Globulets of burning cold flaring in the dark,
Spores of electric mushrooms freezing in the frigid night.

Striders marching through the purple gel that is the ocean,
Ingesting algae through its feet, towering over the sea.

Slowly crawling creeping microscopic crabs,
Shifting the pale hills of sand one grain at a time.

Herds of titans, quadrupeds,
Pine trees sprouting, feeding on their backs.

Unearthly concepts, figures, sights and sounds,
Would arise from where else... but on an UnEarth?


Cookie if you know which Discovery Channel documentary some of these are on.
