The Fifth Season
Here on Stillness the eruptions come violently
As long, cold days extend into the Fifth Season
The orogenes are proliferating exponentially
For which the struggling women find no reason.
Stone Eater, an orogenes of no small renown,
Searches for power draining the energy grout
To gain control over the earth’s seismic breakdown
But the women know already, there’s no way out!
