title: There is too much fire in me
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
<pre class="verse">
|
||
There is too much fire in me to be described by the soldering iron's tip.
|
||
|
||
If I were to draw that across my flesh,
|
||
it would all spill out at once.
|
||
I'd melt, eaten whole by flames,
|
||
and flow into a pool of molten silver.
|
||
I would be borne up through the clouds,
|
||
and grow lighter by the second.
|
||
Sublimation would claim me then,
|
||
atoms would scatter, diffuse.
|
||
All that energy poured to the air around me,
|
||
an imperceptible increase in temperature.
|
||
Particle would excite particle
|
||
until I'm felt only as warmth on your face.
|
||
|
||
But even that would not be enough.
