Borneo sheds her light
in rings of fire, beautiful and daunting.
Sweltering heat breaks open
the buds of flowers,
and you too
if you can be brave.
At the top of your head
where thoughts like to come and go
a crack opens. Like birds startled from sleep
your fears dart out of their cave
and soar into the falling light.
In the great rustling of wings, you are
alone and free.
