Kindling is torn from a proclamation
of long esses and a hand is rested
on an irisless lion. The ation’s
addended to the nth, battle tested.
Several jackets are double-breasted.
Our ritual articles to be assayed:
a blood orange, a hippolytian blade,
a key to my synapse’s ignition,
all of which reverentially arrayed
despite and because of their condition.
