Stirring heat

Fire smoulders on my chest

Electric jolts me at my waist

And mind, my mind, know what is next

Mere days from deep renewed breath

In gallons out this water pours

And electric steam is mine no more

Instead we live as we have dreamed

And fume and whisp at every seam

Until at last this bursting forth

Is outward poured

And our no more is firmly past

And softly felt in tremmoring force

Saria

A place on earth and above

Next
Next

A concrete tanka
