Heavy Hearts of Fire
With heavy heart in hand,
I feed it to the fire;
This desolate spit of earth,
where men meet in violence
and souls clash upon shores of thought;
Here I bring bells of white
of lingering heavenly scent;
Clouds skim the top of mountains
like hands passing over graves;
Kings bury princes for kingdoms
and the winds come to steal
the only laments kinsmen can offer;
I have walked with bare feet
over the backs of rocks to come here,
to place tokens of prayer
on all patches of unmarked ground,
and though the gift I bear
is by no means divine or sparse,
these white bells ring with my voice
for each prince who won't be crowned;
