29. "Quasar Grout"
Patchouli tor, military soap.
Blessings of the demon Bradykinin.
The Plague That Only Gets Other People
got another one...
It is getting so dark that i can scarcely
go on writing; and my brush is all worn out.
Yet i should like to add a few things
before the end. Dragon poetry
flickers in this Algol amethyst
as i fold my wool blanket without a light;
& Uuchathon alone has the dream communion
craved by ev'ry Noumenon nomad here
--this night salt to our snail-senses

"Uuchathon": name of a demon in old grimoires, used by Dmitri Borgmann as an example of a word that starts with two U's.
i assumed it was obsolete orthography for "Vuchathon" until i got The Sworn Book of Honourius. there, it is "Michathon"; & as i pointed out in a letter to Word Ways, the two digraphs appear virtually interchangeable in the lettering style of the period (basically, four vertical thick strokes).
so this is a new example of a "ghost word", & as one of my practices, i am using ghost words in order to create the alternative reality in which it is a real name of something.
