the mountains have been on fire all week long

smoke streaks the clear september evening sky as the sun slips - a hot red ball -
into its path

inside i am burning too
kali, the goddess of destruction, is
having her way with that forest in the distance
and with my own essence, with my own heart.
old growth turns to cinder and smoke

"fuego mi espiritu"
i lit this fire.

smoke rises higher on my crazy faith
but the coward inside craves escape. water.
what is burning? what will grow from these ashes?

the mountains have been on fire all week long
