She's On Fire
By Molly Dennehy
My friend survived a horrific car accident.
I see you Phoenix girl
Hair down
Face in the sun
Straight gleaming
You may think your bones were broken
But that’s only because you were Transforming so hard
The journey is akin to a butterfly
Reducing to goo in order to
Get through what you did
Bustin open an emotional exoskeleton
Burn up, melt down, remold
Come here and let me hold you
We share our ions and let go our bygones
We gonna get through this
And be on top
Don’t stop your evolution
Your momentum has magnitude
Keep right with that attitude
And let your wings go
You do us a disservice
When you don’t shine
You’re mine
You know that?
My heart beats a rhythm for two
Even my plants love you
But who couldn’t
This burning only makes you brighter
You’re my sun
Stronger than anyone
And if you forget it
I’m carrying the matches
We’ll rise from these ashes
So let’s get it!
