“The Romance of Leprosy”

Chinese vermilion
against bitter indigo;
lipstick’d paperclip,
benign arroyo. Alien
cast to the sky until Aleppo.

Opalescent desires stalk
this song without words

& sometimes Django:
carving malign vermilion
into candy canes, night into indigo.

Suitable art for the Cthulhucene.
