When the Archer Meets the Fish
You replace the midnight
bike rides, costume parties,
and tune in. In the real world,
you struggle to stay or ever
build a solid house: but blazing
attraction is willing to plant
a foot on solid ground, for you.
[This is a parable of water
and fire, how oxygen’s in
turmoil, internal; in us
both.]
The water can risk taking fire
during downtime at home, hanging,
with a small life, long friend, feels
like left home at eighteen, never
looking back, looking back, controlling
raging vibrant wildfire flame,
and that’s how water--
--can make it boiling,
evaporate, disappear,
or flow.
