HEART FLAMES

I planted a sheaf of flames in your heart,

and they surged and swelled inside you.

Ten thousand trees reached to stroke your head.

From your chest a flame rushed, resisting

the sunset. Magma seethes down the walls

of volcanoes, scorching the aged rock. I am

eager to glimpse your dreams' sharp-tipped thorns!

I planted a sheaf of flames in your heart,

And with dried lips kissed cracks into the earth.

You who feel inferior, give back the poetry

to your heart, to the earth.
