fire

an inch of space time
can carry a life’s cold rime.
guilty of no crime.

the blind spot is large
from the chip on my shoulder.
but the weight is light.

sun tzu’s artful war
subdue enemy within.
fighting bigger me.

earth coughs up fireball.
sky choking on yellow flames.
yet angels don’t weep.

as the heavens turn
and the devil sleeps quietly
i dance under stars.

the heart knows what it wants
though its choices aren’t always best.
befuddled by cupid’s arrow.
