skyspat out a little flame
warming mind
swaying girth
spanning time
brief pockets of sun
(the streaming kind)
lantern domes make muffled sounds
(momentarily illuminating mine)
flickering embers in campfire’s bowl
little lapping, licking flames
jamming survival in newborn coal
this fire is never tame
-jessica gabriel (2008)
summit moves with the tide
Snow Mountains
A bird flies up from the mountain
larger than the mountain
and down
heart on the mountain
wings
two brown glaciers
of feathers melting
