Below the ground, time moves slowly.
From gaping mouths, hollows reach deep into the earth.
Chasms and crevices shelter creatures of the strata.

Below the ground is an altered space-place, inhabited by primordial sediments.
The related essence of these mineral beings form connecting bonds;
Melding earth-form into body-form.

Wood, rock, bone.

In the space-places where THESE BODIES OF ROCK AND EARTH reside,
time is revealed as both porous and arbitrary.
It stretches past the ages of evolved life.
