and all I want is
to reach inside you and gather
your flame-bred moments of sorrow,
shatter them to pieces with
a hammer made of daylight,
throw them in volcanic furnaces and
breath their smoke as they burn,
letting them settle in
recesses of my soaring lungs,
safely locked away - and
and all I want is
to reach inside myself and gather
my barefoot moments of happiness,
bathe them in dewdrops and
dry them in the fresh dawn sun,
tie them together with a zephyr-vine,
offering them to you at sunset
when tired and thirsty
and the single traveller on a dusty road
you look for shadow and a
cool drop of life.
