OPEN UP WILDFIRE
we’re closing ourselves
when we need to open up
our ribcage is filled with phrases
we can’t say aloud
every place inside of us
is inked with the words
we keep within
we cover the cracks
and we seal our lips
to prevent tongue-tied stories
from rising and exploding
our skin holds together
all the pieces that may burst
if it’s one more day
in the crowded place
around our hearts
we try to keep it all in
with the burning taste of restlessness
permanently imprinted on our throat
as the thief of our voice
this is a wildfire
and it is about to break out
// a.f.
