the fire
Explode in diamond colors from the burning bush, ignited by God,
soaked in red tears, falling from the black sky. Demon eyes sink into their
skin, deeper than floods, split open with hammers made of faith, fall on me
like stones, burning with carnal sin, licking flames of lust. Wrap your hands
around a staff and pull, flames lick away at a hollow stump, emeralds hidden
in leaves, crushed into empty diamonds by rubies clouded in smoke. The
golden tears of a once majestic tree, now sizzle and dissipate into the young
and fiery energies of the new. Brown prickly fingers reach for air through
seas of fire they drown. The gale, insurmountable. Years and years of ringing
and seasons changing, the sound of wind through the fields. Picking up a
forgotten ember, who finally sees the light. Destroyed, in seconds.
Destroyed, en feu.
