Between Earth and Sky

(Andrea Chimenti / Massimo Fantoni / Matthew Buzzanca)

The wind blows gently in the delicate flute

of my bones like a breath of hot embers in its wake

the heart is made of straw

Like a flame that burns
between the earth
and the sky lights up the corners of my room

raging fire between the earth and the sky
advances and rising

Tell me what your name
write it on my heart

With momentum rises
kidnaps the senses
like the sun, hands in the air I

ground

to poke the sky off in the corners of my room


a flame comes between the earth and the sky
advances and rising

Tell me what your name
Write on my heart.
