Scarlett flickers in the flames and consumes
Brick, which builds the house that hosts the family who is rescued by
Crimson, sirens wailing and spewing unceremonious tendrils of water, and saving
Mahogany, who cries out in relief, for her dining set is saved, and supports
Merlot, who tuts as she is swallowed cleanly from a glass by the mother, and
Rose, staining the woman’s lips, collects on the rim of the glass, and
Cherry-blossom, who clings to her cheeks, exemplifies her distraught over
Ruby, who was certainly eaten wholly, golden band and all, by
Scarlett.
