the flames
are engaged
in that wicked dance again
licking all spines
with buds that scald
carnival of scars
each shameless twist
gift-wrapped in yellow
every coppery belch
a steaming stench
into rust-daubed sky
its silent gesture
rampage of hollowing
tongue-heavy haemorrhage
laced with ignition
are engaged
in that wicked dance again
licking all spines
with buds that scald
carnival of scars
each shameless twist
gift-wrapped in yellow
every coppery belch
a steaming stench
into rust-daubed sky
its silent gesture
rampage of hollowing
tongue-heavy haemorrhage
laced with ignition
