you're gonna burn your house down


there's rain on your windowsill.
your uncle jay blazes below 
in the side garden. you have skin
so deathless and hair so long.

am i worth it to you? anger, absence,
this fear of absolution. 
how can a creature small as you
cause this much devastation?

in the ashes we'll find the answers to some things.
we will figure age is aloof, like fathers. like the wind.
i will learn that you are only small 
the same way a mind is small.
