Often a series of beings, and this is the structure: growing beside, on top of, and into each other. Nests of thigh and horn infest behind borders marked by saliva, whose song-like, viscous organism comforts as much as the architecture. Then in the middle of autumn or spring an entity passes through them. It sheds verses of glowing from its body, which is a hymnal, and belongs nowhere but in its own. This one is untouchable because it never ceases dying; its hourly demise renews its corridors and towers. Carcass of light unseen by most, perceived briefly by wolves and carrion-eaters; they see the incandescent movement — firesinging, with no mouth or ears to hear it.
