Promethean heat

We escaped our bodies
by the Promethean heat
of our words,
and cheated time and space.
But now we fall back to Earth
and our clumsy flesh.

Whether it has soul shaking symmetry
or heart-beaten unevenness
the bloom of this day

will end,
as all must open and close
before the moon or sun.

No matter the path
whether we stumble or dance,
down or around,
we will get lost.

Out of the dark
of the cave
follow this trail
of loving words,
back to where we danced
before the fire.
