Dense Notions

Fire:

Gracious horror, fire.

A listening, living heart

of stars twice as bright.

Earth:

Hope incarnated.

Slick slider, water backstop.

Home of homes, and bones.

Water:

Drown for a drink, a

link to prehistoric birth,

a blood unfailing.

Air:

Pollute it; go on

and use it. Don't confuse it

for gaseous ruses.
