On Fire: Burn with Me -

Posted on the 15 August 2014 by Juliejordanscott @juliejordanscot

August moonThe prompt from Kat McNally, prompter from August Moon -

Day 6: on fire


What are the signs that you are on fire?

 August moon on fire

Burn with me.....

Silence seedlings rise from deep in our belly

Their song shouts above rattling pots and pans, plates and glasses

Their song illuminates shrieks of laughter and conflict and transforms

All into a lavender love, a peachy orange moon blossom

A quiet neon light demanding attention right here,

right now, in all its gold-green--licked rightness

The seedlings are evident in poetry fires,

In storytelling competitions,

In holding babies and rocking the tears from both our faces

In that moment

-   no translation is necessary,

No explanation, no figuring out, no excuses simply

Seedlings

Reaching from the low grumblings of our belly

Making themselves seen through my blue eyes

And your brown eyes and our hazel eyes

Seen through my scar-woven countenance

Seen through these words you read, you beside me

Wherever you are -

These are the signs.

We are on fire.
