oasis in the flame

All together, now.(via silliman on fb)

Velleity protean, yet undying gleam:
among the thwarted clowns a nascent jest
& on these stones like jackals we make feast,
3 kinds of ghost, en route to Bethlehem
morning root of cyanide
green ice gears in the city of Dis
of this my voice the fall of ivory dice

Angels again in America.

"You cannot dim a harvest of stars." --Violette Leduc
