Thomas Albert Fox
extract from:

The Charred Lord

Inscrutable, but
Desireless of napalm,
In the posture of the inedible lotus, and
On pain of living
The saffron lord stroked his match
Poured petrol
Onto her fire,
Enflaming
His passion for peace.

Thus lit up she
Crackled
Alive on air
His skirts flaring
Interfering with quietude
An item of excitement
Of selfless immolation
Of fire a glaring work
The world of darkness
Illuminating.
