Bring Me Iron
roses around an altar
hungry butterflies
and scared people
gather here
I get that
a lot of worry lately
I won’t be staying
no
really
I gotta go
their man told them
that even though
we’re in a land shortage
and solids are rare
they can still see something
tougher
than iron
more beautiful
than imagination
just look in the mirror
on the inhale
I hope he’s right
by the exhale
I know this scene
ain’t for me
I’m moving on
