You Are Returning
Lalitree Darnielle
You are returning to bed Light of the morning is dead New stars contract and expand You are returning to sand You are returning to dust Slowly the planets combust Tail of a comet carefree Cloud of exquisite debris You are returning to mind Once more our signals aligned In dreams or the arc of the day You are returning to stay

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