“Controlled Burn” by Allie Marini Batts

sawgrass rises up as a phoenix
scorching the landscape so that
everything will come back to you

brighter than it was
when the flame first touched down
to the loam beneath

when it is over and the sun sets,
weep your blood down
to feed the grass

-Allie Marini Batts

    Remember, just because you don’t see fire in the trees around you, that doesn’t mean the embers buried in the loam are out… fires have been known to last years underground to emerge again only when the conditions are exactly right. Love it;)
