My Fortune Now

by

McKenna Byrne

How is my fortune now
That friendship has become
The sum of all my days?
How have things turned
For this tempered heart
That the warmth of your hello
Begins to burn the edges of my day;
How your words of greeting
Fly like small arrows of fire
Through my arteries and veins
Straight to the heart of me,
Unexpectedly consuming it
In the flames of friendship;
Reducing it to ashes -
Utterly cremated
At the sound of your voice.
