Intensity Poem by Fran Spear

The intensity of
intense is
intense

Boiling water at 212 degrees F.
Then there's boiling aluminum at 3,000 degrees F.
intense

Then the rest
whatever element boils at the highest degree F.
before it does not boil anymore
intense

Then there's the core
of the Sun - not boiling? how do you know?
intense

And if the Sun's heat is likened to an icecube
what is hot?
intense

Am I water-seared?
like a lobster going in for the cooking?
or Sun Seared? for what I do not know -
but it must be because it is -
intense

Then there's the Plains of Dura
there's a fire that doesn't hurt
if you know the God walking in it with you?
intense
