I Burn, Therefore I Am

Written By Dina Arrazaghi

by Aura Marsh

Dedicated to Jeff, Fatima, and Alia.

I'm a flame.
I BURN.
Burn deep into your flesh,
under the layers you can't see.
but you let yourself melt for me.

You are bravery.
unarmored.
unadulterated courage.
Now, go rest Soldier—
watch the sunset rise.
