Kerri Shying R # 567 - Bonfire

Bonfire

that phone  goes dead  when  it is done
whatever   the emotional  weather
 it’s  cold inside   though hearts  are

always drawn in red   hot  reputations
for overturning    choices of that
ice pick brain

un-answer   again   getting  
is a warm glow    a hearth  a
fire  calling

hilltop  to hilltop   some tribe
or other    set in motion
sent  into the world

when the smoke   suffocates
 I don’t think you feel the sear 
 across the windpipe   shallow breaths

gaze fixed
 there  inside the mirror
one  day  of exaltation
  enlarged    apart

  1. Phones are modern smoke signals.
    You can always choose not to look.

    will be queen at last

    and shake it fast
