The language of metal at Babylon

Bell-throated yelling. Senses of endings

That entropy-tending things have up pent.

Bel of devil-impelling Heaven. There-dwelling

Bull bled neverending into the impending.

Garlands of garlic off-white, armlet gold

Ireland green, and farmer pleasing sky scarlet

Around the neck of varnished marble Marduk

His statue even in Babylon is a marvel!

Whose gavel bangs condemn the starving

Decide how far and where stars hang.

Caramel eyes, jacinth lies

A caravel his vesselmind.

A star belt in metalmelting triad.

Mars felt close enough to swipe at.

Christback-scraped Chaldean mirror scried at.
