NOTE: starting with the usual note about blah-blah where it came from & when it was written & all that — if I said it was originally inscribed in us about 400 years ago would that work?

Also, something from a year or so ago that basically is a prequel to the above (below!):

Layers of your reality

The geology of genealogy

Misplaced alabaster wealth

Dispensed by migrant health

Atop oceanic enslavement

Forced-march displacement 

Strip-mining long-dead life

Conflict minerals and strife

Mild plants & vast Leviathans

Down to the planet’s origins

Arisen to the surface

Sinister of purpose

Bounties only skin-deep

As if it’s yours to keep

From the histories beneath

What once and will yet remain

A common-held domain

Once again within our reach
