Solstice Valentine

At the center

of the heart

the ashes even

a little flame

produces

as it breathes

a gas oven after

all wherein

are bodies

taken back

stacked away

too soon

falling asleep

in the stillness

falling not falling

snow of bones

red birds come

and fly through

like blood.
