1964, 2016, 6*, bone, Dr Strange, eyes, faces, flame, light, lime, message, purpose, role, Steve Ditko, Strange Tales, thought, windows, words
while little more than bone bends
calcified from the hip to graft with
hideous and perverse satisfaction
to phemur on which it sits, the
messenger is sent lumbering clothed
in outsize roles and ragged over
cross-hatch purpose to breach the
barrier of any window and the light
that it may let fall across all facial
thought – oh, the faltine flames
that flicker lime between furnished
brow, the words, not seen, but rise
in smokey scapulas, the being in
cross-hatch has frantic eyes, the amulet
has light which cannot be framed –
turned backs of saddened victory
from the Dr Strange story, Strange Tales #116, ‘Return to the Nightmare World’, January 1964; Lee & Ditko
