Fire Camp Story... Poem by Nestor David Armas

I buried you

In a shallow grave,

Not that I wouldn't

Dig any deeper,

But I held some hope

Above all else,

I didn't want to let go,

It couldn't

Just couldn't end this way,

And here you come

Resurrected

And I can barely

Contain my heart,

After so long

Having let go,

Rendered you

To an imaginary place,

A unicorn you were

To always remain,

Legend, myth,

Fire camp story

Over a fire reborn

Phoenix,

Oh how you do tease,

But I will let my curiosity wane,

No one died and no one will...
