American I vow to read and write / Even if the only tools I have / Are a sharpie and my hands. / Even if all I have to read / Are messages in stranger's eyes / Like Morse code fireflies.
We speak in kindled words And pyre shrugs Every silence to be broken With black, charred lungs And smoldered tongues.

Pyre Shrugs
Plume of gas and dust Flash of light and energy... Thus burst the pillars Who birthed luminosity.

Bound
Twixt our crossed fingers held A silver lining not beheld And between golden fleets of stars The black space that keeps them apart. Even with the Sun at noon most high It too, lays down its glowing breast to die And with its last breath Smolders, the cinders red.
