like prophets on fire ants march to the last songs of summer
Tag: Singapore
a city of scale breathes fire and smog where children chase fanged shadows on cobbled cinder streets
from the forge of nothingness silence is constructed to quiet the minds of flesh
mercurial ghosts linger summer’s corridor with solemn designs
disintegrate into the nest of your arms and the warmth of your lap
after dusk the last rivers of light shape frail bones
the pilgrims of the bog sing songs of freedom shaping mud into spears of nature’s wrath
after dark kids gather round to listen to the stories hissed by a serpent with lanterns for scales
warships steer into the fog only to be greeted by razor glass winds
summer after dawn a second sun rises and slits open its throat
