Phoenix
Olympean wings in which flame fitfully stirs
through heaviest rains and relentless sleets
their beat whispering deepest inclination lost to antiquity
from a place where this inferno of rebirth rests for neither kings nor gods
her fervent recklessness
in magmatic emotion
a fiery reverie, colossal in weight
as their words engraved in my spirit,
embossed words that left craters.
where even sacred ground shuddered and mountainsides shouldered
her molten divinity,
defiant and lustrous
and
for moments uniting day & dream
