 Poetry 20

Green is gray without you

Memory streaming through the leaves

Spirits sing refrains to graves

Despairing dirt-filled lungs

Flesh moves with the candlewick

Dancing licking tongue

Wounded eyes crack coffin lids

Corpselight snaking towards the sun

Rise upon the mountain top

Set the world ablaze

Cut me, burn me, bury me

Asleep in sugar cane

Stalk me, wash me, eat me

Growing, hungry flame
