Out of Ashes

Out of Ashes

In the ashes
clank of nails
Clinging to the magnet
Passion of attraction

Intimacy's attachment
Pried off magnet
Five gallon bucket
Half full of nails

Back and forth
Over nine square feet
Invisible force draws metal
Out of the ashes

Rise

                     Rise

Out of the ashes they rise
Daffodils and Jonquils bedazzle
Stark contrast of rubble
Dotted with beauty
