Temple Street Phoenix MAG
I want to dance up the sharp edges of the Phoenix
Fly along the angles of a bird rising from the fire
Tilt my head back and glance down at a square of
Coffeeshops and office buildings
Churches and banks
Cobblestones and concrete
Tying to decide who to cast my lot with
Morpheus or the lions
Maybe if I settle into the crook
Of the resurrected's wing
A decision will come to me
Where Christmas lights shine on a black bird
Arrested and distorted in the act of ascension
