Once upon a Carboniferous Period time

the COMPRESSEDSHELLSBONES of billions of sea creatures
made the sea bed, now
raised high in the sky
by gargantuan planetary forces
a millimeter a year
for millions of years.

I sit upon this ancient gray graveyard
contemplating eternity while
eating a Milky Way
