“…in which each letter is signified by a random mark.” ~ D. Bonta
If a spiked flare from the sun is a petal
and the petal breaks off from the crown—
If the crown is a wheel run amok
so the road blooms with rusted metal
and bad mojo— Then the firebird will hide
in plain view: tufts of flame trees, glimpsed
as you make your way from afar. Shake open
your map, walk steady along the arrow’s sight.
