Frozen and bit

 Desert ground

lean

             
Spreading out

Reading the di

What do the we

say
             
“Everything, e

              
verything, eve

              
rything falls 

   
through
              
Each dimension

           
 breaks in two
              
Like the two h

Everything, ev

As it all even

  Molten rock
