JHE HEAD IS INFLAMED, red
As a hot poker, yet
There is no fever, they claim.

              Water poured onto
              The scorched circuit sizzles,
              Bubbling into a lava hell

              Burning blackened nodules
              That bleat a final plea
              To end it all.
