The Blood & The Bones

I remember that it hurt

but yet here I am again

moving outside the edges of you

earth and sun

in orbit

should not get too close

I know how it burns

still I remain

in revolution

arm held high

your hand the axle

a swivel, a pivot, a twirl

a slow deliberate dance

in and out

of the fire

and the light

the brightest, deadliest star

in my sky
