Flowing through bodies

Up into the sky

Spent billions of years

Bubbling in brine

Miles below rock

That old ocean flows

Full of microscopic creatures

All together and all alone

So close to the edge

So close to the great divide

When it split down the middle

There's no going home

And flesh eats alone

So close to the great divide
