Volk
Large jagged mountains undermine the sea of fluid silver
Their solid backs of diamond green with envy hold the sky
A distant oval sun pops through the ashen clouds
Like a tiny moon that lost its fire
On Volk the earthquakes never stop their motion
Flat trees strung together low, find a way to grow
Thin to thick along volcanoes turbulence
Sideways on outer worldly lands they live
Gray hills hold worlds together with their power
Gravity holds the ground in place for safety sake
Turns the infant planet midway through the solar cycle
In a system far from home discerned by no one
On a chosen path of randomness
Rolling like a marble in an orbit all alone
With hundreds of other rocks just waiting for a crash
Avoiding collisions is a mystery
Mercury lakes run large along the surface
Shimmer in their viscosity above the noise
Being silver is more difficult than you think
When there are no sentient beings around to know of it
