the phoenix



i wonder if you knew.

about
the
revolution
in your bone-shards

the freedom. from your empty veins
the hope. etched below your skin

the future
beyond your feet.

i wonder if
(and hope that)
when your world went up in flames
you knew

that yours
was not
the kind of dust that
settles.

but ember-seeds
from which this tree of new life
would spring.
