Conversion Poem by Jacqui Thewless

Conversion



My old head melts
on a rose-red bloodstream:
Where have you been for so long? says the Flame.
Let me dissolve those antique eyes;
I’ll have no more
peering at the banks,
fussing about their slow collapse as though
land-life was yours.
Talk to me
and I will answer:
You must become all wax
and I, the constant
change of heart, will hear.
