Burn To Turn

Burn To Turn

for a briefest, gilted

eternity, the trees

will burn not from

their crown

nor from their feet

and, despite the ice,

the sparkless space,

the cold steel

darts of insistent

slanting rains,

the trees will burn,

the trees will burn,

and all-at-once

the peripatetic sun,

it's whims having won,

will dance along

and share its breath

with everyone
