THE ALCHEMIST SUITE

EXCERPT

I, Madman. King Blood Drinker

Splendor blazing: prophesy

 

Doctor. Diviner Demon.

The future now foretold

 

Golden turtle! Oh, luck omen

Cosmos’ cauldron, shell of flame

 

Soothsayer. Magic Caster

Eat my teeth and gnaw my bones

 

Primordial orb. Fortune’s cradle

Summon sun and conjure moon

 

My resplendent incantation

Augered smoke. Ensorcelled skies

 

Tell the future, Demon Monster

Golden Shield and Queen of Worlds

 

Vast as space and captivated

I bow down prostrate and comply

 

Vision bringer, golden turtle

Cast your bones and yield my prize
