by Laura Mullen

    Huge crystalline cylinders1 emerge from the water

    The future

    Where do they come from the King gushes2 these talking fish

    Show me at once

    We see the writer buried under a collapsing3 mountain of scribbled-over

    papers

    While ink blurts4 from an overturned bottle

    Speech is silver the King mutters

    Silence is

    They discover a fabulous5 ancient city

    Black lake

    Flag of smoke

    Where we turned to look

    Skulls6， bats， stars， spirals， lightning bolts

    Words spoken in anger

    Flowers for sarcasm7

    The sequence continued to work in references to the brevity of life

    Garlands of flowers

    Stars signaling physical impact

    They discover a fabulous ancient city

    Under the water

    None of the inhabitants

    'Be reasonable . . .'

    Increasingly faint trace of inked

    Flowers delicate

    After that

    Cat catch

    The decree

    Eradicate
