MAGA wants peace.

"knife tariff, irate fink"

& if these aren't phoenix flames
--words like a bird battering
a fixed boundary
like a gleaming glass window

& if these aren't acts
in the gloaming, earnest
& brave beyond bluster
--why is the harg steaming

Phoenix surrounded by flames.

Hearing Peru get mentioned made me wonder if there's any memorials to Vallejo there, like there are for Pessoa in Portugal. As it turns out, there is a César Vallejo Cultural Tourist Park in Trujillo, from whose website i learn little about V. except that the park has sculptures dedicated to César Vallejo... The website Lima Easy says it opened in 1997 (on his 105th birthday) & one of the sculptures is a life-sized statue of him. And, in 2023, the Lima International Book Fair screened a new documentary; the festival included a computer display: "Using the deepfake and the chatbot, visitors to the fair will be able to ask him questions about his life, work and any other concerns they may have."

& if these aren't phoenix flames, detailed oil painting, hieronymous bosch.
