 The Mistress of Word Play

Phoenix



phoenix photo Phoenix.jpg
She remembers the taste
of ash on her lips
the heat from the flames
as earthward she slips.

Consumed to her core
by the funeral pyre
no misplaced song of glory
just the heat
of the fire.

From the remnants she rises
different body another face.
A cycle has come to climax
and starts again in this place.
