Phoenix Valentine

Tonight at sunset
the great cloud-bird
appeared again
covering the sky
wanting to eat the world
with its head of
sculpted pink fire
and arched wings
of gun metal gray
carrying our rain
away north of here
I know you’ll say no
those were just clouds
coincidentally bird-like
but don ‘t our own lives
form and disappear
as brightly on
borrowed light
