Burning Bridges

by

Frank Valentyn

Leave the scorched earth
abandon fallowed lands
where remaining hands reach out
incarcerating
with the power appointed them

Cross the bridges one last time
burn them decisively
and in that moment’s heat, heal
translate their flaming
into new light’s comfort
illumine the chosen path’s meanders
flow with the quest’s dreaming
but gather some remnant planks
splintered, scorched perhaps
un-repainted
small deliberate burden
lay occasional casual crossings
to those early causes
witness there what formed and moulded
what in higher interpretation of those vistas
bore the more consonant music
that sings inside, liberated
and accompanies the flame’s new power
