Furnacey

Once, at least, the philosopher is mistaken: it wasn't the chimney at all; it was the furnacy land-breezes, which, stealing out from Portsmouth, had wrapped us in a sudden fiery embrace.

Life in this great pretzel center is distinguished by the worst television reception enjoyed by any metropolitan American city – not even barring blast-furnacy Pittsburgh, runner-up for ghosts, blizzards, fadeouts and other visual blah.

the work-weary pleasure of removing a coat when stepping inside an apartment; / the disappointment of having no fireplace; / the compensation of turning the heat way up. / the furnacy warm air blowing through the vent so differently from cold, haphazard rain.

I know, yeah, this floor ... / We discussed it once. / Cool, concrete slab. / I lie on it when things are too furnacy / And my shoulders ache.

I was born in May (Mother's Day, in fact), and that's about the time of year I like: winter's over, and summer hasn't yet gone into full furnacey swing.

Admittedly, it's not a very Magma-esque sound. / and it's neither fiery nor furnacey.

The water stops, but there's still quite a lot of residual heat in the furnacey bit which made the boiler bump and boil for a few seconds after shutdown.

Their winter coats insulate them so well that they actually prefer to tough it out in the elements, and even a cold barn is sometimes too warm for their furnacy selves.

There was a sudden furnacy glow all around it, and to its left, associated with it in some way, but not attached to it, a bright green dot appeared, a small but complete and brilliant dot.

There was a feeling to the place like in the basement at school, where they held classes for a while when enrollment ran too high. A furnacey smell and uncertain buzzing and whirring sounds.
