Across the Flame


 


Sparing nothing


But nickels


In the chance that lofty thought


Remain unhinged


And quietly


Though unspoken


Altered arrows


Through the flesh


Wounding even you


Specks of dust


On quiet nights like these


I took down


The pictures


Melted frames into pieces


And waltzed across the flame


Of hunger


Eaten by tender flesh


And reduced to


Utter irony


 


I spent the day regressed

Yes! Your words reach deep into the soul (mine anyways) and echo there and the echo waits for a response. Refreshing poetry, Patricia. Thank you for sharing your gift. Love and peace to you,
