Alight From Bridges Burning

There is a chuckle in my chest

A warmth in my breast

A touch of lighting in my mouth

In my eyes there is fire

My throat contains a choir

Splitting notes, like hairs on my head.

My fingers contain flowers

Planting kisses all the hours

On keys of an ivory bed

And yet with lashes weeping

My heart, its song is sleeping

At the end of a dream where all have fled.
