A background of diffuse red flames across a faded scroll in lower left, overlaid by black text. 2-image poem. "Tracing the GLOW of Hushed Despair I Past industrial fridges where strange meat wore icicles for armor, where stange folk caught out on invented identity were kept, stood pens full of fabulous beasts from unmapped spheres tappable only by wizards, waiting to be rendered into magic. A furtive gang crept, not to free maneaters into the wild; naive doom was not their goal. Their higher calling was an apparatus draining ley lines, an infernal source of hushed despair acrosss the whole world squatting like a permanent guest within too many souls crying, will you still love me, when I let these slippery twins twist me? in nightly nightmares full of horror."

Same flame on scroll background as first image. Second page of poem: "II Perilous was that gang's tread; precious amulets and spells barely warded them from their carefully triangulated quarry buried in bouncy stacks of manticore-hair magic carpets: A profane text and a rune loom beside, weaving more than leviation into rugs; Ancient dark curses encoded to convert all who rode long enough into shackled genies, hypnotized by light and illusion in opulent doom beyond all dooms. An accomplice still at the pens now opened cages as the rogues whistled high then low in eerie beauty, summoning magic flame Of phoenix, pegasus, dragon, and free djinn all roaring through the whole building. The destroyers of magic died in noble sacrifice: utterly breaking the world’s curse. The magic flames flowed into the spell-contollers, ending in agony hundreds of vile man-parasites shackling the world. EchoGnomics"
