Crudius - Dig A Well
Crudius woke up when a comet
rocked his chamber and his hall.
He found up on the open fields
carcases of an eon's worth
of life wiped out by fire.
He greedily gathered fruitful harvest
to his caverns underground.
There he lit himself a fire
and put them in the kettle room.
Crudius stirred till all became
as black as carbon, raw and sweet.
He left his experimental stew
to liquify and to purify,
to cover all the deepest pits
and to wait till new life begun.
Then Crudius went to sleep.
