Still Reeling

Days of clouds created haze, doubts
poured through soul to soul
mist drifted - penetrated pores
sifted through sleeves, up skirts
no discretion,
a lazy daze fashions a beautiful mess,
of cells, blood, bone,
put the good foot flat down
grasp the edges of the earth
rearranged certainty
embers stoked ardently
hard enough, hot enough
stoked smoke, billowed
licked the roof, sparked flames
dazzled dancing on the ceiling
still reeling, caught in light
fought shadows, burned for home.
