burning water

by Charlie Morgan



according to heraclitus
everything burns
at one time or another.

i burn as i write this
and you burn as you read it,
we smolder into air and smoke;

only to return again
to burn more, breathe more
and to once again
begin the

repetition
of a different sameness
found in each living death.

quite a cerebral juxtiposition, Chaz...I loved the way you set it all up then hit a "homer" with the last line...
