only silence in my head
( For once )
You question - point blank
No response
Or Formulation of words
Any answer would be
many sided ... puzzled
Not the singular word you want
Yes
And I can't understand
Why you can't understand
My trepidation
My fence walking
My balance beam tip toed steps
Protect me
There's lava around me feet
Lapping at my knees
Singeing my hollowed out soles
Protect me
You are the raging fire
blistering all in your wake
Forever forward in search
of fresh ground to level to ash
Protect me
I can't out run your flame ...
I can't quell your heat ...
I can't avoid your path
frozen I stand ..
Eyes clenched shut
to survive the burning
