A Burning(2009)
(text: excerpts from Wendell Berry's "An Autumn Burning")

I have words to burn: leaves
of fallen, wasted words.

I know a light
that hastens in the dark
some work deserves.

I start the blaze
and observe the fire's hunger.
It touches pages, turns them.
None can endure.

After the passing of that light,
there is sunlight on the ash.
I turn to life beyond words.
