Blue Fires

Why does the heart of the flame burn blue?
Why do January cherries bloom?
Why do blue fires burn in me, yet not in you?
How can the prairie flocks keep their courses true
And navigate the stars as they do?
How do blue fires burn in me, yet not in you?
You tell me you’re here
But your words are like fumes
They just disappear
Now all of the heat’s
Rushing out of the room
The hottest part of this flame burns blue
The January cherries bloom
Burn not in you, yet not in you
