Some Like It

To blaze this
Pushing heat
Away with both hands
Chest high
Popping the breast plate
Forward and back
Hands modeled
After palm frond fans
Wings, webbed
Fingers spread

Protecting values
Unprescribed
Not subscribed to
Not a fan
A block of heat
Always heading for the ceiling
Blindfolded balance
With sweetly folded wings
All relaxed and withdrawn
No engaging, flex
Heart of palm
Boiled
Sliding away from itself
From the center
A little at a time
