"I'm watching Rings of Power today, & Sauron is doing a really great job persuading the Elves to create the rings & put them on Dwarves & Men to act as manipulation device / magnifying glass to help him rule all of Middle Earth.

Zeuhl music.

coruscating dark is home
to goblin fears & bars of chrome
as fathoms furl
i find no pearl
in screen or jowl-by-jowl-crammed tome

no wisp succeeds its thirl
coruscating dark

& we remain in calcite dome
croaking like a wintry merle
the burning whirl
a metronome

coruscating dark
