A Dead Fire
Raven-black clouds roll over the wilderness, the forest, raining leather over the clearing. Sharp black drops extinguish the light of the camp, the blazing fire, hissing in the ashes. Then it is dark. I smell the smoke, caustic and briefly smeared by the drops of animal skin, washing the ashes from the burned trunks into the wet ground.
Chunk by chunk, the coal breaks like the bark of trees, the rain stirs soft little craters into the smoldering logs, rinses out the splinters, the hesperidic hint in the bright hinoki wood, the fine thread of fresh fruits in black spruce, a few fleeting lichens of oak moss, the burnt motor oil from the gnarled old agar, everything turns to ash, washing 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 move beyond the physical, crossing the liminal boundaries. He writes hymns to Greek gods and burns incense for them. Sometimes, perhaps, cigars as well. "Raven" smokes for about five to six hours, predominantly close to the skin.
