the calcination of love

Jon Nakapalau

after the heating

free will burns with decomposition
and there is a fever that convulses jerkily

and you are a marionette with strings fuse burning
still you know that it is a controlled process that is lost

heart now an altar that will never achieve act with prayer
but still you will let the knots of air grow tighter around yourself

to choose what you will burn for is a gift that is given to so very few.
