Flints of Fire (For My Other Mother)

Until the battle recedes 
no more 
and the earth has tilted 
beyond its axis,
when the wind 
gusts to appall 
as in ancient
history,
forgotten


I shall remember,


As a muniment 
of minutes
broke,
the sheath of silk 
covering my id,
unveiled the majesty 
and wonder, 
ambrosia
energy flowing 
in neon tubes


Revealed 
in the pain 
and suffering 
an atom of joy,


You
