the phoenix
Wednesday, December 8th, 2010
Planets exploding in
dark alleyways,
fragments breaking windows
and resting on floors.
Fires ignited in an instant,
showing what lurks
in the shadows.
Cowering animals
we are,
sheilding our eyes
from light and debris.
Definitions dynamited
into piles of sand.
Boundaries crumble
like paper.
And Beauty,
the rising phoenix
with wingtips,
ascending
through the flames
towards heaven.
