FIRE AND WATER

FIRE AND WATER

Fire and water on your soul,

conquistador with eyes like coal.

Wolverine echoes from your past.

She said she would love you

if you were fast.

But the red sunset held you back.

You poured your heart out

until it was dry.

And the child in you wanted to know why.

WORDS-j.s.herscovitch.
