We keep an eye
On each other
On the horizon
For smoke
The bags are ready
The animals with me
We’ve got nothing of value
Just books we can’t remember
And people we don’t need to be
Maybe if we burned the place down
We could have a little fun
Maybe if we abandoned it all
We’d find something in the undone
But we keep it contained
The flue managing the burn
And we search for seasons
To give us context
To give us meaning
I can’t see what we look like
When we’re old and worn
I just watch you stoke the fire
And it keeps me warm
I’m writing a poem every day this December. I hope you enjoy some of them. I wrote this one listening to “Millionaire” by Chris Stapleton and “Fireworks” by First Aid Kit.
