Inside oil-hewn apartments
Fiery glyphs selfsummoning
Basely comported, Ifrit’s imprints
This fire: allelbowstable mad in attitude
Sawing hatter Alice in ashes, tatters left of Tart Queens
Pasteboard knights, brazen in brightness
Tarot Figures frames alighted
Riders Waiteing on a dreamsqueezed plain
Helms xanthous quiff’d unexplainably majestic
Flames as part from poorly-wired sparkplugs
Marching legions of literal fire ants
Red as Byzantine minds
Rome’s licentiousness confined in humid piety, inhuman
Flicking like an octopus made to drown
Along the escarpment
Down parted floral curtains from the Department Store.
