back to Carl Sandburg

“Kin” by Carl Sandburg 🇺🇸 (6 Jan 187822 Jul 1967)
Brother, I am fire
Surging under the ocean floor.
I shall never meet you, brother—
Not for years, anyhow;
Maybe thousands of years, brother.
Then I will warm you,
Hold you close, wrap you in circles,
Use you and change you—
Maybe thousands of years, brother.
