Which flame burns brighter, I wonder

Am I committed to my own, breath of my lungs?

How fickle floods of rage move my bones

Not blood of my blood, but in my heart of hearts

Everything I lay down to them

My labor, my protection, my wisdom I hand down to them

They are my likeness, though not my flesh

I give you my name, my identity

And though my flesh falters

My spirit calls you

Son
