fire pit
the gasoline pools in the fire pit
like dry ice in a monster movie
it calls for the match
it doesn’t always work the first time
the body needs to learn
how to open its gates
monk, poet, “conscious hermit”
I am all and none of these
face lit by a burning bridge
if a truth of so many years
can be unwritten with a cup of tea
then what else is malleable?
