Saffron

Come kneel in this warm bed Pull the tiny thread From the open full flower Come in from the breaking heat Bring you golden sweets Filled with honey and saffron Pure light Full and bright Vibrant and haunting Lie awake Seasons break Restless and wanting

Lush, unconventional, delicate, and alluring, Forest Fires explores how the natural world embodies and reflects the themes of human desire and longing.
