24” x 24” acrylic on canvas, $400

I am drawn to

dip my toe into the deep end;

it appears cool and calm.

But flames shoot up

through every cell

and every story.

I am caught between fear of consumption

and desire to surrender.

A  giant

stands at my desert home

sizzling with the setting sun,

soon to be relieved

by the rising moon.
