Burn Away
Hand of cinder
to caress the skin
of wanting trees,
incinerate the dreams
cauterize the memory.
Hand of smoke
to peel the flesh,
charred black, passionless,
expose the *****
lambent emotion,
the coals of desire.
Burn the roots,
the budding fruits;
left alone in the skin of trees
forgetting,
where the ashes came from.
