Fire Bush

Topics: classic

If flies be dragons         and they may you know.         In large desiccated brambles         where wasps go         involuntary blue-green coelacanths         these Devil's Darning Needles         wedge in Flying Circuses         frame pale diaphanous wet green sky         as shooting columns         twig and Rock Face.         There, fire-bush         entrance scrapes paler wax         green fronds then         Blue Holes into canopies         thru the stars.
