A flame is in my blood

 A flame is in my blood
burning dry life, to the bone.

I do not sing of stone,
now, I sing of wood.


It is light and coarse:
made of a single spar,
the oak’s deep heart,
and the fisherman’s oar.


Drive them deep, the piles:
hammer them in tight,
around wooden Paradise,
where everything is light.
