“All cities are founded on the abyss.”

"Orison of the Salamanders
Albino wolves drowse
tonight, albino wolves.
Succeeding waves
on a beach of black glass
whose pauses extend
from the start of my life
to its end.
Albino wolves drowse;
rabbits dig.
Madness is the promised land
sometimes & when it digs
all the way through
to here,
I sit & cannot say a thing
amidst thousands
of blind hands,
albino wolves."
--Camille Meesh, Axis Cookbook (2004)
