Down.
say there is a tree, whose taproot extends below the cooling loam, the worm-rich dirt, tangles of bone. say there is a crack in the foundations, that the stone house takes on water, the graves collapse, that the bilge pump fails and the ballast stones steep in seawater in the below-deck dark, and under that is something large and slow swimming in circles. say the blind cave crickets feed the eyeless fish that feed the sewer alligators, say Agarthi. say Shamballa. say Xibalba. say there is a secret king of the earth's hollow dark, sing a worm in the marrow of the world.
