You are the phoenix and I am in ashes.
Left bathing in your wake I sleep.
My resist; futile slings and slashes.
Your song; gentle napalm seeped.
You have razed me to the ground.
My lungs convey the flame's licks.
The sky is black under my mound.
My cold blood and the fires mix.
Sparks glisten: stars through the night.
Your echo plumes carbon specks to listen.
My ears perk, hands clear debris from sight.
Droplets stride over my face; I am christened.
The fire You started melts into my dark.
Heat waves past my heart and catches.
Burned bones roar and hear the hark.
Subtle lift pulls to my feet; undoes my latches.
New marrow pumps and sears my cracks.
Iron blends my chest and softens my heart.
Wings burst from blades on my back.
I phoenix as did You and from ashes depart.
