fire a head Poem by Monica Aasprong

fire a head

for a head

white

in the flesh an apple

heard

between fingers

the child rocked

between fingers

satmar sun ma

is it you there

walking from here

to there back

by water side

into the shirt

the earth

into the string

yes so

press yourself in

into fire and catch

carry stand straight

your will yes go

falter in doubt

a stone you saw

stone that stone

all is taken

paint it red

every bit

casted in head

in the writing hand
