burning towards it

hit or miss
I take up what I was trying to say
like the shirt on my floor
I keep on stepping on

or ignore it like the guys date upstairs.

i tell myself its seasonal
let me explain,  I try
to make the writing burn

the only time I agreed with a certain religious lecture

was when he said meeting God was like meeting
fire.  and we have to burn at the same rate
like a match.
a paper would light,
but fire does not burn fire.

the sun makes us blind
we just slowly move towards what
we try to meet.    while I thought he should be able to meet
anyone.

on secular grounds
the rest made sense.
