Trial of Red and White Fire
Centuries ago
In ancient Hermopolis
A debate roared loud
Between a proud Christian priest
And a strange shepherd
Who was a Manichaean

triggering perfect firestorm,
the titan of fire beside himself with misery,
though no fault of his own
the raging bullish conflagration

Petersen House, Washington, D.C.
I admit to own a passion
for the Civil War in general,

unfortunate heaven
(The stage is bare. The poet steps to the mic.)
(Begin calm, deliberate)

London
Shoreditch clung to its ruin
Its roughhewn gate staring out at corpses
And the clutch of travellers heading from the fields,
The shepherds rambling onwards,
The herders with their slow-moving cattle, hoofs
Thudding on the stones. Amongst them the knights...
