First lord upon this planet

Deploying drones to scan it

Nothing returned no structure

Complete and total rupture

What happened here

Is it worth knowing

What once lived here

When things were growing

A crevice spews a dust cloud

Then reseals

Kicked up bones the scanner missed

A long and crooked spine like eels

Here too? I can’t be dreaming

I’m wide awake and still I’m screaming

The orb responds with fetal movement

This far from spawn? I feel time split

Another pin in a wretched map

Cast off but leave a trap
