cover the sullen courtyards.
Flowers of violent life
bristle through with gorgeous thistles
and poisonous mouths
to laser-scrub the landscape.
Cornices touched by snake's tongues
shimmer with hallucinogenic light.
Tendrils extend from stone
in slime revivified.
Globes of green glass
with fiber optic webs
shimmering inside them
refine the shadows of deepest night.
Inverted neon pentagrams
blow up the religious graveyards.
The dumpsters puke
a thousand years of mottled soil.
The shopfronts erupt
with coils of wet clay.
The cornerstone stained with ultraviolet
sheds shades of gray and squirts
blue paint around the sphere that cannot stay.
