Now Transfigured - 1992

Kindling

by Peter Halstead

To catch the fires of the world
We reassemble what is old,
What is slashed and flawed and hurled
Against the chaos of the cold,

And use it, wrecked and lost and burned,
As fuel on the broken ground,
That has all winter learned
To flourish in the summer’s blowing sound.
