Terrestrians are still at rest
A siren’s wail not let out yet
And silence reigns upon bear’s nest
As well as over human’s bed

The empty bluish roads are dead
Like drawing paper pinned to board
Below the heavens see-through spread
The world before the eyes of Lord

And still it lacks the third dimension
It looks too plain, too crude, too odd,
A prequel right before Creation
Reality’s forerunning draught

To remain rudely separated
Craves every fragment, each detail
Just like a motley mural painted
Before the siren’s waking wail.
