Poetry

Artificial Inferno

by Bryan Zhao

Born out of Promethean flame
Us fleshy, smooth-skinned creatures
Were forged from crucible-cracked clay.
We were beaten down and subdued by nature’s whip.
Only to walk against the lashes,
Burn the rope with fire, and
Cleanse the palette to make this land our home.
