poem and painting: mary anne zammit
fuego by mary anne zammit
fuego
They never asked me to remember.
They never ask me to forget.
But I praise the fire, which gave me light.
Same fire which burned me like crazy when you kissed me.
And made me dance in circles.
Like a lonely lake.
They never talked about the flames.
Which destroyed me.
Because you no longer loved me.
And I do not ask to remember
The day.
I looked into your heart.
And shivered.
Because you have called me witch,
I am back, like a Butterfly.
Consumed in my own power.
Because you called me a witch.
Today you made me Alchemist.
I am the Fire.
