Valley
of Confusion,
     Great Podzolic Abyss 
monstrous nymphaea of nature
    eternal and in each direction.
 like mountain-walls or whole
ranges 
   framing a valley in the taiga.
     within the valley
     the
mother of nothing sleeps
     like her own baby sleeps
     the sleep which never existed. 
   
and outward its center, a tongue
    ever-digging, ever-spinning
    into and through the crust of
the earth.
 rich with mineral and phosphorus,
 covered though in strong webs and
silks―
      as to cloud, defend its
heart. 
 enormous hole! valley of
confusion.
 it opens now slowly, 
  like gates open,
    like a black gate opening. 
           bare now,
         a
great and podzolic abyss
          under the wind-throw of
Yggdrasil,
           its roots are no longer alive.
