ad infinitum cries Herculaneum spectral pyroclastic flow
streams and Villa of the Papyri temporal caustic iconoclasm
wine shadows emerge choking on earth planetary
Getty rants face to face with molten peninsular brain
fire empirical bungalow colors of Pax Romana
here now to the Pacific Palisades
warm flesh outer province
revolutions in western cycle fish
in air flap slop that cancels grace
goat statues belie hidden sibylline
goddess powers of Chi Rho brides
pushed down to ash and bone
and ancient memory
digging aristocracy from the pits
and the terminal endowment
- natural
- salvation
