the phoenix recipe

burn it all down
start anew with the brightest embers

pick the flame from the fire
and make all the colors
they could never dream of

paint the sky with the burns
of calloused hands
and drench the deepest seas
with salt-soaked fumes

blind the gods 
with the magnificence
of a world they thought
they could control

rise again
rise again
