The heart fire deep heat unburning Lift us over mountains Pull us through a drain pipe Speak to us of certainty while adrift on improbability As if knowing the shadows cast by our father’s steps across his treacherous trail The way was lit from within match lamp lantern caldera sun pulsar Boom Thunder cracking sparks spitting The warmth of his skin browning his paper cape Plastic name The furnace forces feelings for forging exploring unwary of warnings deep seated picnic in the pool area desires creosote his chimney lost to the mansions of memory to the particular particles of the smoke choking on the carbon sandwich he provoked

The heart fire
The heart fire deep heat unburning Lift us over mountains Pull us through a drain pipe Speak to us of certainty while adrift on improbability As if knowing the shadows cast by our father’s steps across his treacherous trail The way was lit from within match lamp lantern caldera sun pulsar Boom Thunder cracking sparks spitting The warmth of his skin browning his paper cape Plastic name The furnace forces feelings for forging exploring unwary of warnings deep seated picnic in the pool area desires creosote his chimney lost to the mansions of memory to the particular particles of the smoke choking on the carbon sandwich he provoked
