Rewilding
The sound of all the panes breaking inward this gleaming onyx surface tilting into view cold then colder
an eye in the distance the things you thought you could tell me to fear spent ashes and settled bones and nothing arriving
I have loved like that you don’t know shaken windows but I have loved like that
and when my heart began counting backward I walked away before my flare kept the wrong ones warm
again again you cannot glean how to be wildfire I have seen that flicker in your eye
where it belonged when the wolves settled here again I learned not to be nervous they do not hunger for me
you do not hunger for my bones you are just afraid of the dark and of my conflagration perhaps less than you should be
so keep running. The rain lives inside you anyway.
