she was the hollow ground
drinking water faster than sun
quick as sand can be
she was waiting for the plows

she wanted the scars there
so her sacrifice would show
and she could relive each time
she became wet again

from hearing the metal heartbeats
from the ribs of the tin men
with their hands over leaking holes
plugging them from the sounds

of her swallowing rain coming down

But when she blesses your eyes
in her green skirt,

will you write of her then?

DS ....I couldn't get those images of fire from out my head last night, so I wrote a fire poem...it didn't help.  I'm glad to see you writing, that means you're ok...doesn't it?
