Land on a fireA Poem by Sofiko Emiry"Soil is inflammable"
I burnt my hand
On a hot soil It was meant No one would it coin; But there is threat ; To coming close Asking a pray And allowance to say To stay; I am a man And I am a woman Made one day Of the same clay Soil is hot I can knot my hands; On it So spoiled my essay; Crammed to the death Left unarmed and grey, Now It's my color Ashes of soil ; I urge you preveil On the end of flame Give it unveil Give it ungain To turn back again; To my hands for reign Its incentives decayed Its desires not plaine; I burnt my hands On a hot soil It is meant to be Freed and regained. © 2014 Sofiko Emiry |
