tipped with fire
in the beginning,
wisdom left us for sunlight.
young lungs breathe, and scream.
as leaves eclipse red,
the body stretches in defense.
it grows under threat.
will the wind carry
every hope away from us?
we all feel our age.
seasons always change.
from child to maverick -
from summer to fall.
trees are tipped with fire.
an Ouroboros pyre.
wisdom found anew.
when the dark crawls into view
is it the end, or the womb?
