There's a thin thread of truth
that ignites my body
into fire
It dwells in my belly
and roars up my spine
It grabs hold at my throat
rolling flames over rhymes
It makes me speak
out of turn
and walk
out of line
It has a single anchor
to my heart
running wild
There is no perfect dance
with its flame
divine fire
Rather …
It is a deep shake
a belly ache
a leap of faith
a swallowing of heat
at the feet
of Desire.
