Carmen 22

I know things about the crackling magma,

The cold touch of the earth as it falls to rocks

Made in a forge without a proper name.


Tell me about fabric and sledgehammers

And the way that flesh reflects the hot wind,

The failings of grey concrete to our eyes

Like a lighter that has died in summer.


We will pull iron out of stone with heat.
