Fire-Fly Stars I Always Wanted To Be A Scientist. Someone Asked Me Once: Aren’t You? *** What I Really Wanted To Be Was A Polar Bear Lusting A Powerful Musk With All Effort, With A Sure Un-Certain Purpose. *** Or I Would Be Huddled Under Some Mass Of Reeds In A Cavern Crouched Over A Silver Beam Of Light… And The Echo Everlasting Of One Drop Of Purity… Landing In A Honed Stone Bowl. *** And I Wanted To Be Worthless Like Every Component Choice… Like Every...

FIRE the Immortal Fire the Immortal—primordial breath, Kindled in chaos, a twin flame of death. Born in the forge where the cosmos ignites, It dances through nebulae, seeding the night. With tongues of plasma and fusion-fed might, It devours the dark, gives birth to the light. Fueling the stars in their hydrogen blaze, A crucible shaping the eons and days. It dines upon carbon,...

There’s a fire raging in my heart, I feel helpless as I see the world in dire straits and the humanity structure seemed on the point of collapse… A wound that doesn’t get healed A thirst that couldn’t get quenched A desire that couldn’t...
