fluttering beast

Did you know that the stars in the
    sky are just a reflection of stars
    in the ocean?
And that the million-tentacled
    beast moving slowly from us,
    fluttering in its majesty, came
    from the boiling belly of the earth,
    where land is not land and
    where water isn't either?
I could stretch, back pressed against
    the black, writhing twilight, gently
    grasping, relenting twilight, I could
    span the horizons, plucking from the
    vine of the skies.
