The Phoenix
To die of fire and born of ashes
how strange it must be
to be destroyed
by that which creates you
of course a woman is rendered as herself
by the ideas within her head
and decimated
by her own thoughts
and a man is rendered as himself
by the beating of his heart
and dismantled
by his heated blood
though neither man nor woman return from their destruction
I wonder if the death of the fire bird
is painful
does it know it will be reborn?
would this lessen the pain?
I would envy a man who was reborn again and again
but not a man who thought he died every time
