i think of our fires
by Lydia Allison
.
my silk scarf smudged with grey | old
wood that popped and cracked
the tiny floating sparks that lifted
from the black | motes
of copper made a close night sky
we were gods | men | dark red things
now the deep infared swells and rolls
brighter and darker | breaking
the earth to ashes | the fire licks
the stars | magnetic | draws them all
back | in

It’s me
by Mina Polen
.
It’s me riding over permafrost
It’s me
…………burning
…………melting ice and life
…………burning
…………………..burning
fire burning deep inside
it’s me
…………setting everything on fire
rage riding over fire
restlessness riding over ice
………….it’s me
……………………….again
I have enough fire
………….to burn thousand suns
………….to consume the earth
it’s me
………….burning
it’s me
………….and I am waiting
………….to set the world on fire.
It’s me
,,,,,,,,,,,,,wind made of fire
get ready to glow
get ready to start all over again
it’s me
…………..again
………………………burning.
