Slowly Building Fires
For war victims
Yes I understand
Your grief
Grandma grandpa mom dad and two siblings
I too dread man-made fires
Worse than forest fires
Starry heat loving beasts
May I suggest
You dance
And must dance fast
Watch for a moment
Just watch
Watch their feet
Burned feet and toes
So beautifully fast
Flirting propelling igniting
Slowly building tension
Butterflies on skates
Short spurts of stillness
Before intoxicating tempo
Who composed the music?
The choreographer?
Pay no attention
Feel the Temple
The dampening sounds
They forget
Entering a zone
Have been
dancing since 8/ 6/ 1945
That's what you must do
Must dance a lot my friend
