The last freeze,
long preceding the Michigamea nation,
compressing the earth,
storing immeasurable energy.
The thaw gave way to rebound,
still in effect and at times erratic,
it once reversed the great Old Man,
chiming bells heard out east.
Cometh the next quicksilver temper,
stirred by solar eruption,
aimed at the crime-stained earth,
will the metropolis built on mud be swallowed?
