Prayer

What is the energy source of the spirit?
What is it's waste?
If it is as a star feeding upon itself
Casting off planets...


Then give me the tools of color and sound
The curves of lands meeting skys

An arsonist in the forest just before dawn
Let me stand in front of a canvas
My spirit afire
My body the fuel to spend
At it's service
