The Heart is an Organ of Fire

I’m not looking into any future
for permission to be aflame

I’m not in negotiation with others
for some eventually condoned
internal combustion or right to burn

I’ve got all best interests aligned
come talk to me and you’ll see
the right thing is being done

You only smell defiance
because you
haven’t found the center
(yet you still want everything
to go through you)

short cuts
require a line
and love is a point

a point
that never needs
to make itself
