Dirtman wakes from his dirt nap. He rattles his box of bones and conjures a sound like wooden stairs dancing. He rattles them again—it sounds like metal wires slicing clouds.

Like a Brontosaurus lowing.

A lost bird singing happily.

He takes the dancing stairs, the wires and clouds, the dinosaur, and the bird and arranges them just so. A song, like smoke, rises. Dirtman breathes it in and coughs it out. He deems it good.

He gathers the stairs and the wires and the dinosaur and the bird and puts them in his box. He is happy, for now there are more bones to rattle.
