Ulloa’s circle sets moondogs howling
captured by rain, the blue is helping her escape
sangre azul, a blueprint she can’t read
the veins in her body, taut, taught and the beryl
lightning an instrument of punishment or selection
the blue exploding, opposing old poesy
lightning inspired eldritch dread, impeccably reasoned
fiery bolts, keranography, pareidolia
magician’s incantation, inside these blue veins
