Who needs rescue?
The thought of that makes me quietly
go away from the doorway…
running from any Sonata you could play.
The house became ash from the couch burning,
the windows shattering, and glass breaking
into air.
The fireman’s foam, water puts the flames
out that engulfed us.
Long sentences burned my skin.
No bandages helped.
Wrap the gauze around your tongue.
Choke, until a different sound comes from your voice…
an urgency of edges –
sharp as the mirror shards you look into.
