hungry fire…

 

hungry fire

quiet mist

dangerous goddess

come heave elaborate words

self-terror

 

diamond is bitter juice

metallic bang

instead of

mechanical worship

problem

machine before flesh

previous play

Women's History Month: Maria A. Arana's "Ashes"

once night disperses

pieces of sojourn thoughts

tempest willows

beckon my return

the frost renews vines and thorns

timid breezes overcome the bite

the night’s luminescent flowers

bleed joyous gifts reckoned

caught rumors

no longer summon dragonflies

stillness breathes on my ashes

and rekindles the worms already there
