fire

slow leap to future.
chance to dig up martian soil.
put green upon red.

night’s little monsters
carrying candy filled lanterns.
small sugared tricksters.

a human on mars
where the hearth is always home.
melding heart with earth.

in the quietudes
i can see myself clearly.
a heart full of song.

if there are great men
they are amongst us unseen.
the devil don’t care.

there is so much more
behind the empty green door.
full of red spaces.
