Fire in another.

September 19. 2014.

I like my words when they come
quick
like licks of flame
building fire in another
to test the tree inside.

Charcoal is the blood of ancients
driving assholes on asphalt
talking greensense and nonsense
in the same breath
that should have been given to
another
baby that died near the coal mine
living in our own country
we must live with blood
on our hands
and in the back seat of our
minds

Pushing ever forward
Drive on.
Drive on.

Drive on, sonny.
