Flambeau
There are two red chambers
& you are on the other side
only ashes. The vines along
the wall tell all, but what
remains? Old habits return
nightlife wanes & ordained
to find the source we scan
the sky for her war-torch.
Children of the Dead, House
of Napoleon, cobra & carnelian
where do the dawns draw out?
Far off & legendary
may the voices recall their lives
the brides remain lost to hide
for there is no age here
just these walls of ivy
with single trumpets
of blood.
