Description heat inside
heart in mouth
spit it out
for safety's sake
stomp out the fire
gape at self for a while
at violence formed
on floorboards
with bare feet
burned

but charcoaled ventricles
still pump
stubborn
to hardwood canvas
while phoenix colours
lick over soot
leaving feathers-
embers
in wake
and up legs
consumed by outside
rather than inside

no escape
from self
so give in
become
flames,
feathers,
embers,
ashes.

new skin emerging
pink as dawn
from dust
first breath
full
exhale- feel
the first tottering beats
back to life
blood rush
and walk with
pins and needle soles

again,
joy in motion
on new feet
move on.

I have been letting it cook for a bit, and am thinking either just leaving it at "III" or calling it "Once More"/ "Once Again"/ "Again".

needs a bit more stewing time, I guess.

xD

Thanks!

"Volcanic transformation"...? I don't know.... I'm not as good as some when it comes to names...

Great poem though. I love it.

XD No, it did. Either its that, or I'm such an avid reader that I caught that.

But yeah. :3
