Eternal granite, crystalline scree, agates, boulders, rise to hills, towering tors,* mutinous mountains, endlessly growing rising, lifted, then toppled by the fiery rebirth of draconic lava** Like the cracked shell of an avian egg***/ **** both molten yolk and watery albumen mark the passage of time, the swings of the multiverse, they pacify Charon’s passage on the Styx Seen and unseen the arched openings spiral, poled in ten dimensions by exigent mathematical quandaries, branching boles boldly rooting in islands of primordial I, chained screeching***** shadows infer larger beings who manhandle the infinite construct of finite man *Alliteration Repetition of consonant sounds [ ** Hyperbole A figure of speech involving exaggeration. *** Assonance The repetition of similar vowel sounds [A vian, A gg] **** Simile A figure of speech involving a comparison between unlike things using like, as, or as though. *****Onomatopoeia a word that imitates the sound it represents
