Brimstone Villanelle

By | 1 February 2020

All the sulphur of experiments and gardens of explosions and purifications,
the Golden Splash Tooth the subceracea light of the shades and the damp
and the sun’s show-through the mimicry of light and shadow-skin.

Sun’s action is beneath away from its eye as under and under the canopy the fallen
wood rotting trees offer conditions and protection, the fungus grows as the gleam of a lamp,
unto the sulphur of experiments and gardens of explosions and purifications.

For the extraction the greed for the element of star formation
for the contradictions of the elemental body’s desire for a soothing burn a universal stamp?
And the sun’s show-through the mimicry of light and shadow-skin.

Such inversions such cravings to make the chemistry of animation,
and to find these sulphury residues on wood piled in a dry place at a stable temp,
all the sulphur of experiments and gardens of explosions and purifications.

The hydrogen sulphide gas the sulphuric acid the fossil fuel by-product variations on brimstone:
and all around in every seam and crack across every surface the wattle pollen encamps;
and the sun’s show-through the mimicry of light and shadow-skin.

For the pollen is the yellow time is the sulphured light we sweep to horizons,
the golden splash tooth meteorite heatshield in darkness reminds us, too, and ignites a swamp,
All the sulphur of experiments and gardens of explosions and purifications,
and the sun’s show-through the mimicry of light and shadow-skin.
