The Fireman is Burning Bridges


Painting by Salvador Dali


THE FIREMAN IS BURNING BRIDGES


There is a way to make sure
you are always going forward.

There is a way to make sure
that nothing nothing nothing

takes you back to that season of fatigue,
that time of hibernation

when the sun was too far away
to make a difference:

burn the bridges of addiction,
watch in wonder as smoke fills the air.
