fire

from the beginning
world revolved around sun.
and times were more fun.

an exchange of air.
exhaust hot from empty mouths.
just pieces of thought.

on a single day.
given all the happiness.
more than i deserved.

how long are the days
as life slips through your fingers
rushing to nowhere.

the groveling thoughts.
the sniveling of small minds.
neanderthal needs.

the vulcan within
tames the flames of broiling hearts.
the logical life.
