the world is on fire
all teeth and claws
swift and vicious
the fury that erupts
in gunshots and hate
many rush to
fight fire with fire
hoping to vanquish the enemy
or keep their hearts safe
but see
they have forgotten their tears
sweet antidote to flames
the salve of sorrow that
clears the eyes of rage
sitting in our grief
being with our pain
touching tenderness
we remember each other
i gather sacred water
in my small cupped hands
and offer you a drink
