fire

quantum tunneling.
i am here next to you now.
across the divide.

the urgent question.
empty heart bereft of song.
hollow halls of life.

the bruised horizon.
the old man stumbles upright.
messy yellow hair.

the heart can blossom.
from black filled hate or white love.
sow seeds carefully.

the magnificence
of life’s open canopy.
paint it with your brush.

lambs led to slaughter
along red river carnage.
profit licking chops.
