Wild Valentine

In need of pure water
To mix with dry ash
Days devouring days
 
A little on the tongue
To slow things down with pain’s
Sweet loss of flame
 
Alchemical paste
From which an egg is made
In which a bird is stirring
 
In need of that book I bought
And can’t find now
With instructions for its training
 
Wild bird I caught
How tame your fevered brow
In the days remaining
