(mostly) short poems on life and love

catching fire

July 5, 2022 by Michael Guerin

black hiking boots
caked in dried mud
wait by
the back door.

outside, a november gale
rattles the shutters
with waves
of stinging rain.

the power cut out
five hours ago.
my phone
is just about dead.

i toss a log
on a bed of coals
hoping that it might
catch fire.
