 BILLOWING PURPLE FIRE

velvet and brimstone,
a crown and a wreath
to the lava-throne

billowing purple fire
rancid breaths from open mouths breathing hell
exhale insidious tar-storm, mordant flame

 red fangs in the brume funereal protrude
 beneath shimmering eyes judgemental

crepuscular beast of no moon!

consciousness rapidly oxidates
in the immediate surroundings
of this revelatory conflagration

abrasions tear across the earth and the sky!

close-mouthed devil pig appears

the devil always breathes through his nose!
