so as a pyre

another morning gift of fire
would only catch the roof, so as a pyre
and ceremoniously take aloft the ash
of brazen haven homes, of cash
for that is all in eyes of plunder
a stamping ground, not wonder
and as the open view is gone forever
there is no sign of man so clever
who has left the land this fate
but its anger will not dissipate
the red blood rising halts for none
nature and her sun, they know the one
another morning gift of fire
did catch the roof, so as a pyre

steps (song)

two steps to go
and back to know
the freeway days of couldn’t see
what was becoming then of me

counting each
as it would reach
the time to take such care of you
understanding less, yet knew

but the sun so fresh, again she came
to make each sigh or laugh the same
a past of losing
slowly cruising
through
the blue
not caring for the memory
not wanting familiarity
to be
so free

counting each
as it would reach
the time to take such care of you
understanding less, yet always knew

this condensate has no end
and, like ice holding on
as it approaches the sun
will succumb
to recycling
yet, at the very end
or the next beginning
there could be respite
who knows
or cares for
the event or outcome
