C. D. Wright, Flame

the breath               the trees               the bridge 

the road                  the rain                the sheen 

the breath               the line                  the skin 

the vineyard            the fences             the leg 

the water                the breath             the shift 

the hair                  the wheels             the shoulder 

the breath               the lane                the streak 

the lining                the hour                the reasons 

the name                the distance          the breath 

the scent                the dogs                the blear 

the lungs                the breath             the glove 

the signal               the turn                  the need 

the steps                the lights               the door 

the mouth               the tongue             the eyes 

the burn                  the burned            the burning
