FLAMING By Susan Isla Tepper


When I had the red hair

was a good time


Even though she died then

it was her time


Nobody felt afraid

you could dance naked

they’d laugh


Red hair flaming

when cold winds

blew strands into my mouth


What you're craving

is not in the language


It's not the spark

beating your soul's

bird wings in the night.
