Of the Flames

in the green heart
rooted as they are
and spit of them fleeing
burned in the crackle and sway
blown back through flaring flames
you can barely hear your voice out here
blown back through flaring flames
burned in the crackle and sway
and spit of them fleeing
rooted as they are
in the green heart ​
