Pyraquatics of Doom
by Rachel Bennettafter the waterlilies have burnt out
and the algae has finished its taser dance
after crackly blues and greens alternating
have played out behind epileptic eyelids
after apoplectic rage has swallowed
sparks as small sips of champagne,
you will flutterkick through flames. 01/11/2010 Author's Note: Poemuary Entry #11.
