a fire encounter
what a stance,
pedro burned
and it was nothing
like what he thought
it would be.
not a scalding,
not scotching
it was almost nostalgic.
and the memories
of things lost,
of what had been given up
to take it all,
to make do
with what life dished out
bury unhappy emotions,
unhappy encounters
for life to too short
a joke
to turn things around
don't take anything seriously
and there is an unsettling
a cast of doubt
on belief.
is it really?
