FAUX CASTLE
D2 WOMBWELL EKPHRASTIC CHALLENGE




Look at my glazed ruin

glass light, dry storm,

rainbow’s home. 

 

Anger sustains

though element gouged,

flag-wind, see my pride.

 

Faux castle, your ravens fly.

Plague’s sustenance,

last in the line.

Prepared for legend’s time.

 

Bone brittle, I crumble

brick powder, wormed wood.

Held in charms of

viral salts, corrosive winds.

 

My house is a closed mind

beyond the mildew line,

but at last it slowly opens 

to lick and lash of stormy seas.
