Does it always 
come to this?

fire and ice

Blue springs or 
Rainy canals

the dancing flames
blue reflections 
they revel in 
their changing 
views

Let the answer exist
in the ampersand. 

Until then
I’ll find my 
joy 
in long walks 
coffee after dinner

I’ll pick 
mulberries 
and 
listen to his 
singing

I’ll run, steady 
until the answer 
reveals itself. 

You see -

Both
forces 
have the capacity 

to burn.
