Rotic

Sky red as a bromine solution

Into which a toothsome alchemer, Fool’s son, diffused:

Tears of Lys and Siren’s Tunes,

Dragonprey barely chewed,

Chaste maiden frozen mid-swoon,

The sense of thrilling chase bottled.

Two drops of this rancid elixir

And one’s beloved becomes instantly besotted.
