Shouting Fire

I want to shout it out

From the top of a

Mountain

Skyscraper

Geyser

Aeroplane in flight

Hang suspended in the clouds

Shouting fire

Upon the unsuspecting.

Fire of inspiration

Hope

Passion

Creativity

Just make something

Make something make something

Make me something then

Share it

Share it with the world

I want to shout it out

From a falcon’s wings

Slowly and inexorable

Fanning flames

That both destroy and protect

From caught in a spider’s web

Eight legs sacred

And well remembered

Shouting fire that

Not so much burns

As cures

Like a pot in the kiln

Possibly a little cracked

From time to time

Glazed

Inappropriately

Yet hard and unyielding

Ready to be filled

Ready to pour

Ready to be exactly as useful

As I want to be.
