firebird

dilemmas, deadlines, and do-this-by-3
finals, finales, and forgetting for me
cleaning, contracts, and collecting will be
aggressive activities eventually...

timing, trying, tiring fatigue
bound and broken, beautifully
sensing, sighing, serendipity
wishing, wanting wistfully

rhythmic rapture restlessly
unfolding, unwinding unyieldingly
gagging and gorging gruesomely
the firebird shall sing no more.
