the only safe place is home
and maybe not even
there
in these days when
even to
breathe is a risk
we walk a tightrope
from
one elevated
destination to another
r aware that any misstep brings us down
It is more than just the heat or of summer
we must endure
we much endure the
more savage heat
that boils inside us
from the inside out
no lotion makes us
immune
no threat of extinction
can discourage us
the fire is just too scolding
to be dampened down
by words of warning
and what we achieve must be done
at the inside first
stamping out the
sparks
that inspire the
feelings
that scorches us so
yet what do we use to stamp out these fires when everything we have us as in
exhaustible pile of pyrogenics
we set off with every
thought
even at a distance
even when we have no contact
with that external
match
that started it all
