1001 Nights.

"star anchorage"

1.
brillig ichneumons bruise
pale of the rotted pergola
brimstone possibly

returned drake tarn
verboten featherless bipeds
tor bothering

vortex espionage

2.
blurry routes arraign · reverie drunkard
deglycyrrhizinated · gloze on a poet
sent packing · subfusc pavilion
at the table trawl · a trivial silence
lost · in the lesser myst'ries

3.
secondhand rodeo · sinking
a fine grind glimflash
old Saigon

put on a rare record
blue & its box blatant
royal blancmange

is it only i inch
t'wards now stern twaddle
effigies twyborn

as in the moonglade moiling

"...art may be the only remaining medium of truth in age of incomprehensible terror and suffering."

"In literary criticism, a SMEERP is a word invented unnecessarily by a sci-fi or fantasy author just to give their writing a false sense of bizarreness or exoticism. The author James Blish is said to have coined the term by summing up this technique as ‘calling a rabbit a smeerp’." --@haggardhawks
