how giants ought to sound

my lungs could inhale the sky;
clouds could fill these lungs of mine.
my voice could drown out the sound of rain
and its power could derail a speeding train.

when I walk, I make the world shake.
heaven and hell, they feel me the same.
I make the earth flat when it ought to be round
and my echo sounds how giants ought to sound.
