The Fire
by David Michael Jackson
The fire is not out
It burns like fire, like pain, like, you know, pain
Water waiter, water for my fire, water, sweet clear cool water
Words won't do. Words or work won't do
The sword sinks deep, yes, deeply into the underbelly, into the abyss
And the words find no favor
eat the peach, man, eat the peach, yes, dare, next time, next time, next
time
Is there time left?
time between growing up and growing old
time between the river and the sea
Eat the peach, man
eat the peach
It is good
it is sweet
next
