Of course I see beauty swarming everywhere:
Behind every mask, the revelers, the gigglers, complainers, and bringers of homemade side dishes,
Behind those that never came.

Must shine my own sulfur light on these strange beasts.
I don’t dare describe the teeming pool of eyeless angels
For fear I will crystallize them with the minerals of myself.
