No Phoenix here

 In this last outpost of love

there is nothing to hold;

no sound 

but the continuous murmur 

of the questioning wind

and the slow scrubbing

of feet on the floor,

or flame to appease

the insatiable gods 

of doubt.

If i were the ashes

or bird of magic tonight,

I wouldn't say that it is

utterly stark.
