" Why did you pour tender fire
so quickly, over my life’s cool leaves?
Who pointed the way to you? What flower,
what rock, what smoke showed you where I live?
…while inside, a ferocious love wound around
and around me―till it pierced me with its thorns, its sword,
slashing a seared road through my heart. "
