Batter into a useful shape the nearest quartz deposit, with the bodies tools that argue
 echo sounding in time of peace deep scattering layers     
   yet all store the salts which give bone violently with both hands by the size of their ears
    to the weld in front of the flame while shoreline defenses, lighthouses, dwellings identify
      the owl swivels its head, eyes glow in the beam bone cysts, benign giant anchovy, magnetic tags
                                                                    artillery of observation  apes in light many times
                                    as narrow canyons, food chains grunted warnings of an artificial afterlife
                               lethal scissors and mineral deposits
                    needles breaking down the edges and the side walls
                                                                                    the acoustic rocks
