“World on Fire”

From astronasty.blogspot.com
what good are wood bones
when the city’s on fire
and everyone’s pockets are
bulging with match heads
the end has been scripted
by gasoline quills on the skin
burning skies disappear into
hot roars of finitude clearing
out caverns of space-time
continuum room for the
gang of us one-way eternities
incense of smokerise
departing our ash heaps

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

I am where the valleys are deep, the mountains are high, and the wind moans through trees...
These lines are great:
and everyone’s pockets are
bulging with match heads
