This is where
glass was first found. Small
discs

of fused silica, at the bottom
of a pit where oak and alder and
fir were burnt.

I am lonely. I want
us to join like this earth, like this sand,
in some violent and raging fire.

But my hair is not right for that moment
and I need more stylish clothes
and perhaps I have forgotten

to pick up this small chip
of that angry glass
that lies so near my feet.

My poems are hack, but its cathartic and makes me feel better. You write well and it makes me feel a bit more alive. Connected. Thank you.

Loved all of it

with all its twists and turns, but my favorite part is that middle stanza:

I am lonely. I want

us to join like this earth, like this sand,

in some violent and raging fire.

Ditto. Nice twist of surprise at the end that fit so well with what preceded it.

Very elegant

And I like the irony in the fourth strophe.
