"What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say." -Ralph Waldo Emmerson


she's the sun
burning
in everything she does
leaving a forest fire in her
wake.

all her life she has wanted
to be the sea
with a moon-man pulling her
to a dangerous sort of safety

everything she touches
ignites
implodes
.

He tells her this and she
says
"kid you ain't seen nothing
yet"
