what is the sound of California brushfire burning a home?
ears snapping with erratic clap clap clap
neuratic clapping
or do you go deaf?
cold blood draining
ears to protect
primitive pulse chasing flame incinerating
Heat.
softest blankets breakfast bowl and scratches
in the hallway
to ashes the embers
screaming up gods and billowing
demons crackle in a headstone
lonesome structure standing by
daybreak, sunsoaked signature
elegiac rebuttal: you?!
are not in control.
bend bothknees to my Awesome Glow and go blind, mouth open.
MOUTH OPEN!
Like
Mine.
Be natural.
Devour.
