the ceremony

"Huh Huh Huh HAH HAH HAH huh huh huh"

This a fever pitch

Raining sounds

around the fire

sweat frosting

like flower blooms

across the brow

in a galaxy of aphids

and mosquito colonies

of curious moth babies

and full-grown parents

These tent marchers

Foot pounders

"Pah Pah Bah Bah Bah Booooo!"

the circle screams

and now the air contracts

into the diaphragm of night

and swarm of electric spirits

dance with the dancers

and push on each other

and mosh bloody mosh

and fizzle in tones of

lavender,



Then, apater in the fire

Comes the visitor

The eyes glowing

Teeth gnashing

Frothy splutter and puss

foot cankles amid the stones

A riot in the cemetary

As the spirit arose

Flinty eyed, yet like water

the shadows xray on the sun

the leaves floating ribs

and the thunderhead

a spinal column

outlines of death enshrouded

as the droplets pull

the fire apart

and shuck the hull

from the ether-bucket

where the mind plays tricks

And the party evaporates

in the Sun.
