"One day Baudelaire was listening to a group of persons expressing contempt for an ugly old idol which someone had dug up. 'Beware,' said Baudelaire, 'it might be the true God.' " --John Garber Palanche, Gautier and the Romantics (1926)
what pink dusk calls · the fountain in the dark
winds' presage squalls · the fountain in the dark
i prowl lined shelves · in search of words that bite;
without stone walls, · the fountain in the dark
fifty twisters · ride the ballot wake
like mercury falls · the fountain in the dark
like mercury falls · and dun gallium rapids
phalanx of dolls · the fountain in the dark
and Klingon Islam · voices rend the night
by shades crossed, sprawls · the fountain in the dark
Wry-Blue Loves.
The only Emperor is the Emperor of White Phosphorus. --sayings of Asmoday
