A dead fire
Raven-black clouds roll over the wilderness, the forest, rain leather over the clearing. Sharp black drops extinguish the light of the camp, the blazing fire, hiss in the ashes. Then it's dark. I smell the smoke, chewy short it is smeared by the drops of animal skin, they wash the ash from the burnt logs into the wet ground.
Chunk by chunk the charcoal breaks like the bark of trees, the rain digs soft little craters in the smoldering logs, flushes out the sapwood, the hesperid breath in the pale hinoki wood, the fine thread of fresh fruit in black spruce, a few fleeting lichens of oakmoss, the worn engine oil from the knotty old agar, all becomes ash, washes the liquid leather into the damp earth, the wet leaves. A dead fire.

Marcus R. McCoy, perfumer and operator of House of Orpheus, claims to have acquired the language of plants from shamans and the craft of distillation from the origins of alchemy. His creations moved beyond the physical, transcending liminal boundaries. He wrote hymns to Greek gods and burned incense to go with them. Sometimes cigars, too, I suppose. "Raven" smokes for about four to five hours, mostly skin deep.
