Workshop assignment: use assigned words to make a poem

The sandstorm, 

Having wounded the skies and streams,

Upset the dinosaurs.

 

The upsets,

Taking hold and not letting go,

Mortified the reptiles.

 

The mortifications,

Overwhelming the lumbering beasts,

Yielded a rococo maze of bones.

 

The maze of remains,

Viewed by Sol,

The Center,

Again saw again in all this

Its own arcane certainty.
