A Lesson In Burning
what a gift to be wrong.
what a blessing to know
there are softer ways to die
than silence.
i have worshiped precision
like an altar,
folded myself
into the sharp corners of certainty,
but look
even the moth flutters madly
toward the wrong light
and still finds grace
in burning.
