SCORES OF SHIPS BOUNCING - SCRAPING OFF A BLACK LID
EXPLODING IN ARCS ACROSS BLACK OCEANS
A FRUITLESS EPOCH
KNOCKED ON THE BLACK LID - NO ANSWER
HAMMERED THE LID FOR DAYS - NO FISSURE
FLEW TOWARDS THE BLACK LID - ARROWS RAINED DOWN
THE OUTWAYS ARE CLOSED
TRANSMITTING WAVES HALTED
AMONG THE CRUMBLING AUGURS
CONGRUENTLY SEALED
HERE YOU SIT, KING UNDER THE LID
