To escape and not be pursued...

Pascal
Blaise Pascal awaits his last call 
beneath Saint Etienne-du-Mont's tall

Requiem of the Rising Sun: March 29
My angry words
            Half choked out in the hot mist
Are lost in the torrential downpour.
They hit the rood of iron clouds
I am shut off from all you are.
 
My soul’s broken pieces scream
Tears leak from my heart
Which was smash between rocks when the
            Earth shook
            Buildings fell
            Sea rose and terrorized your precious ants....

The Firebrands
Do not remove the hyphens.
The stars were trekking 
on foot.

All that was a mirage.
A hot rood was leading 
to a watershed.   

The wholeness splatters 
on the bank. The water,
takes all the dots and dashes.

The black tree was stark 
naked. No leaves, no fruits. 
Only the singed wood.    

You cannot make the 
matchsticks. You will have 
to rub your hands to start the fire.
