FIRE, FIRE.
(To the tune of John Coltrane’s “Equinox”)
FIRE OF THE DAY-FORCE,
A SPRING OF FLAME,
BURNING BIRTH,
BEGETTING DAY
FIRE, FIRE
THE NIGHT-FORCE RECEDES,
TO A TREE’S SHADE,
WITNESSES GATHER,
TO RELEASE THEIR LIGHT,
SMOLDERING BEFORE,
UNDER WINTER’S NIGHT
FIRE, FIRE
THE SUN NOW BALANCED,
ACROSS EARTH’S LINE,
IGNITING FLAMES,
AS IT CHANGES TIME!
FIRE, FIRE
(Repeat)
AMIR BEY, 1987
