Hating the Phoenix is

hating a myth and hating a myth is hating a swan's wind

of ghosts is sexing the shadows and sex in the shadows

is bullying your name to my lips and your name on my lips

is a fire's career in hunger and a fire's career in hunger is 

a tax paid in ashes and a tax paid in ashes is a marriage

and a marriage is Forgive me and forgiving me is another

weeping and another weeping is a pair of wings beating

red and breathless beneath my dress, alive enough to burn.
