it all began
with the
exquisite
extinction
of great and
plodding beasts.

ebbing through
years immemorial
the sands
shifted and
grasses
grew, in
time, rendering
all things
unrecognizable.

masterful tomes
have been
crafted,
devoted to
the fallacies
of those
last days.

but those
last days truly
were a
spectacular end
a finish
scintillating
in a scope
cinematic.
