The Fire's Edge

The Fire’s Edge
by dan ankers


Into the path; be brave
Like a serpent of flame

Wending through; a servant of time
On a precipice with unsteady footing

Courting disaster, at every lopsided
wane

I’ll behave

To left of me; Freedom
To the right of me; Enslaved

Immolation; this life through persecution
Or to skip the test and flee past
the master’s gate

I go my feet are straddling
twice tomorrow

Though, by only one, will freedom
gain
