You and I in the furnace<\/h1>\n

by
\nViplob Pratik<\/p>\n

Just as the fire rages in the furnace
\nwhen the wind rushes through the stoker
\nyou are blowing your breath all over
\nthe coals of my anxieties
\nand the embers of my disorders are alight
\nAs the hammer
\ndipping into water, heating up in flames
\nbeats molten iron
\nyou beat my mind and emotions
\nThe reach of my sorrow expands
\nAt times I feel: how marvelous is your handiwork
\nWhat sort of skill is this? Amazing?
\nWhat are you trying to make?
\nYou are so lost in your effort
\nI am afraid to ask about your creation
\nlest I should hinder you
\nYet should I stay quiet, asking nothing, I worry
\nsome fearsome creation might take place
\nTell me how long you will keep stoking this fire
\nhow long you will beat my mind and emotions?
\nCould it be that you have mistaken me for metal?<\/p>\n
