| Painting by Norman J. Olson |
I.
No obvious sign of injury
to the eyes that have not seen
what mine have
but from menacing spark
to unrelenting inferno
the flames I was forced to endure
have burned me beyond recognition
internally, eternally
I can only dream of myself
knowing I will never meet the woman
who wouldn’t understand this poem
as I do.
