Captain of Yolk

Alex S. Johnson

The Captain complete with
an egg in the middle,
cooks the goblins of Sol
that take root at the tower’s lower levels
and arch skyward with conical helmets.

A yellow light penetrates his
heart of Mercurius, the bears of
dark like great mountains
rising through rings of the
Opus alchymicum.

A certain portion of the work
magnetized of four cracked points
sets sail from the Ports of Kali.

Their masts wrangle fools
boarding the April Fish—
an anchor of candy
dissolved in the wake.

Exiting the known,
the moon puffs a big cigar
blowing a fortune in succubi
from iridescent shores.
