Meet Brendan, the charming new AI-Guide in Dublin.

"big beautiful ballroom"

1.
Seneca Lilacene's
go-kart to CECOT
silk cauldron
tin knit into kickknacks

they don't tell you · taken to CECOT
plane windows · covered with cardboard
how long detained · they don't tell you
what for · & where to
taken to CECOT · caught in the roundup
quisling quota · for a moment met

3.
   to CECOT
can't fossick when i'll be back
gabbed a squib for a good cause
hooded now in Hastur's crib

4.
   to rise up
like a roused loaf
   not watching
the wary dords
   rise up like
liquid shimmer
   the shroud-fire
shrivels at noon

Knit Ink at Deep Vellum.
