Prometheus
The arsonist's eye
sees
in every stick
only sleeping flame.
It sees
each twig
fulfill itself
in fire.
This world
trembles
at heaven's
all-consuming
stare.
Yet Prometheus suffers
bound
to his black rock.
With his lightning blind wit
he gave fire to the world--
rather than give the world to it.
