Fusion

What beats at
The heart of
A star?

Static
Fuses with
The oscillating
Beat of
A phoenix

Coming
Together in
A spiral of
Twisted flames

Nothing
Is more
Wondrous
Than this



Birth

They pried her open,
Like divers looking
For a pearl,
But instead found me:-
A picture of innocence
Curled up
Inside an oyster's shell.
