Intensity Lost And Found Poem by RIC BASTASA

Intensity Lost And Found



a click of a knob
a gasul oven opens
your hand does it
air filled with acetylene gas
there is no flint
to create a fire
you arrive at the scene
with a look a flicker
of a glance and you
blink, my goodness

you have just caused
a conflagration

a house burning
in a short while
below your feet

charred, this being,
this body, all the bones
turning into
ashes

no, they do not want to be reborn.
