THE FLOWERS OF METAL

The flowers of metal
dungeon heat for asphyxiated cold
demon dark lit up by love
in a stroke of ferocious mercy,
blades melted to the mountain's root
for the granite mouth's
blacksmith profanity

pagan heel denying
the ascension of master's babyface
springing from vein to vein
flying kicks in a quantum realm
madonna deflowered
for mischievous crucifix
bronze halls of required error
calmly holding the plumes of fire.
