When the fire goes out,
The things we sacrifice
Are often those
Once most precious to us.
A new fire ignites,
One of indignation;
And it is our duty
To extinguish it
Before it consumes us.
Build it a funerary bouquet:
Cyclamen for resignation
Marigold for jealousy and grief
Petunia for resentment
And sweetpea for goodbye
Build it a funerary bouquet
The color of spilled blood,
The manifestation of angry fire,
And cast it onto its smoldering pyre.
10x20 ink and watercolor on hot press. 2020.
