live-fire pressed into me
my ribs catch the sun
opening my spine
to it
heat moving
live-fire pressed into me
my ribs catch the sun
opening my spine
to it
heat moving
I feel gratitude like a bell
cracking through silence.
It rings. Rings. Grows quiet.
My heart ruptures too, like this.
It gets in.
Changes me.
