Facula, Flash

Floor slaughterhouse, tiled.
Yield or come home on thy shields.
As before, poor. Riled.

Hurricane, thy beginning.
What will seed thee, storm?
Ululate, underpinning.
Lava, keep them warm.

Rush. Volcanic power, crush.
Dragon, heard that thrush?
Crocodile, wildebeest. Such. 
Cloud, the rainbow's touch.

Fire in my heart, burn ice cold.
Ashes, fall around.
Trillium flower, poison sold.
Salve healing, thy bound.

Gadarene, black gabion.
Galant, galago.
Gallimaufry? Gallion.
Goetic the grow.
