Fire Brand

brambles brothers disguise
come underneath these frozen
thorns. let your foot down, your heart it beats.
I cant escape these frost bitten thunders.
My echoing silouhette will not die into the ground
for she reminds me so so often of your love.

feathers in my hair
tangled in the great green bite of birch bedded down.

Help me... hear
Help me... see

press these green twigs into my tongue and write your words
brand the bones of my chest ...yours
cross your heart over mine with full residence !

dance your bones around me here
lay down my fears and melt them into the ice these deserted foes.
rise along the strands of flowing air ..crackling with your inhabitation.
Follow thy hand
your fire brand
into the hills and wrap these thorns like leather around my wrists
in rememberance.

you braid tall grasses into my hair
with the smoke of the clouds and I honor you with my life.
placed into my hand thy stone of love.

Dear brother...dear
fire of life
my heart cannot contain..
not a thing but these sparks.
the imploding din inside my head
the crushing hum
my soul lives alight.
and I will run aflamed with joy zig zag across the plain you have created
me dust to dust
