12,979. IF I TOOK...

IF I TOOK....
If I took time out to undue the
chivalry, would the results bear 
better earning? More gets done
with fire than with salve? Oh
Lordy, I'm so tired of that.
-
The shed was built on an altar to
God; some sacred spot once used by
Natives with hopes for Ascension, or
Annunciation; I forget which. The
Fire God, a broken dragon, an image
of vast pine trees a'fire...each of those
images was on the walls of that cave.
-
I came on foot, and I left in a wagon,
on my back, facing up to the sky. In
my visionary dream was I dead?
Or alive?
