" Breathing New Life "...

" Breathing New Life "

Breathing new life
minus explanations 
like, "Why?!"

post wild fires
charred browned
and caramelized

pyrotechnically inclined
dark genres 
taken down a notch 
as promised
via "Scorched-Earth"
policies

cooling economies 
overheating climates
while moving past and behind
faint patches of filtered sunlight

as textures of old buried things
revealed sharply and differently 
marveling at brute tenacity

melting drifts
trickling freely 
at slow speed
stirring breezes
dripping eaves 

circling eagles 
swans' whistling wings
halting cobalt mercury 
lichens sinking slightly 
under exile...
