Mermaid of Fire
O Mermaid of Fire:
while all the other children watched
their first picture of motion
you were above the sea
experimenting with other elements,

sticking your phallic, Freudian fin
into the inexplicable cavities
of blowtorched dinosaurs, Fyetddle Behdttylil
brontosaurus with neck craned and
heart of crane gallivanting unto
planewaves of oceanic traffic from
the heights of careless fingers.

While the children swam
and the humans breathed,
You Burned.
Amongst the red:
a bright, shattered, waxing flame
enshrouded in dark smokemusk of Karma
renders cheerful green
charful black
the translucent becomes
impassible ash
and the renegade decomposes
married to destruction
hamartian human, by a boner

and Fyetddle Behdttylil
hibernates in neon spite.
