Don't Let the Rain Put This Out

the light rain hisses and spits
on a wall of blazing vine
dying. fingers smolder at the ends
of a warm body. the world
is the emotions there are no words
for. here the word earth strains
it lies in taut grafts
inflamed by our need to say what
we cannot. only strike
and send up flares.
