Icy Privy
The green in a bluebottle's eye
Metallic, hollow, like shattered glass refracting.
Interpenetrating spindles, listlessly
Turning the world's
Revolving stage, acting
out the fractal interplay
Of a sugar crystal
Magic interlaced by sugar craft
Sweet, manifold, desoxyribose
Glistening orbular rhythms, shapelessly
Scorning all our
Convoluted actions
From cradle to grave
Times without number
The necromancer's strange regard
For stainless steels cold, work harded
(To no avail his base metal's annealing!)
Uncured, unclean, a mind distorted,
Spells and confusion
Rotting to pieces
Mortality's corruption
Sparks fly upward, tracing pentacles
A mist of lighted arms
twisting frantically, fragmentedly
Describing shapes as yet uncontemplated
Mathmatical to madness
Raging obtusely
As the crystal shatters
