The women at the bubble mill slide paint
across glass faces made by the dozen
a pixel-by number operation
fragility begot by the fragile.
A man on a dragon invades Times Square
and all around chaos reigns by volume
tin soldiers rage with clash of steel and lead
in the center of the madness circle
Red-lipped Lady Life and Skeleton Death
cast lots for souls and court the end of time
The earth heats, grows molten, swallows tin men
The bulls across the field sing with broken necks,
The cyprus trees lose form, collapse to ash,
The women do not look up from their work.
