Time ends as
                                                              a leafless tree:
                                                                 The lake is dried.

                                                    The hungry beast is wild
                                                            an endless dark
                                                                  and starless night.

                                                     Starvation comes
                                                            like a hungry wolf
                                                                 gnashing, moaning
                                                                      crying, craving, shouting.

                                                     This would be the end,
                                                               Let's kneel and pray.
