The Esrever Boys on Safari

In southern Selop
on the other side of Edis
seeking a way out
we came face to ecaf
with a rorrim
that devil tiger
of the sinister gazes
and we turned to stone
commemorating that
encounter with pigeons
to this day
immovable in that square
world from which no
escape is possible
unless the Player move
and the Game end
Stacked end to end
eye to eye'
we failed to see
the koob burners
beating through the tangled
words and thus lost
our one chance
at immortality
