fire medicine

has a knight ever slain the damsel & loved the dragon?

the words you say sometimes are exactly not what you
meant. I wonder at the accuracy of error & the shell

of metamorphosis. the taoist alchemists were thinking
immortality when fiddling with sulfur & saltpeter, would

have they thought fireworks, tunnels, mortality - tunnels
pincered on both ends by LED fingers. the jade mirrors,

looked into by gunpowder fathers, look at hungry animals,

on gunpowder mornings, in 250 sq ft apartments, thinking
only of dawns.
