Cinnabar
prods the person
to sunlight, trade, and time,
The civiliz’d do celebrate
what made the empire fine.

What schoolchildren adore in school
is what to all is heir,
The knowledge of practicality
made from the bursting bone.
bursting bone - soothsaying in various cultures involved the reading of cracks in bones after they had been cast into fire
