my footprint in the mud
kissed the earth
dried in the sun
bore witness that I was
old
i held fire
at the end of a stick
eyes and lungs burning
challenging wild and hungry beasts
but the wind came
blew out the fire
erased my footprints
and took me away
now i scrawl my memories
like graffiti on this white wall
angry desperate and afraid
so that souls who survive
will be agitated
to run in the rain
stretch in the sun
and let me breathe again
