Controlled Burns: Poem 1

Starting with nothing but blue sky

until I realize I am adjusting to you.

it cannot be helped. how naturally it lapses.

it shows me in myself

that I am in a place of searching.

but what else might be required, might we be in wanting for?

the hand of fate looms in

splattering the vista

with the stain, distraction, of time…

It is like they are tap dancing or talking,

our hearts,

the rhythm is varied.

Even though there is a

change in the lighting, dramatic,

and the wind picks,

that all stops underneath the beat.
