fire

soft the night sleeping.
the trees whisper sad love songs.
a crack lets light in.

soul as black as coal.
perfume doesn’t mask your stench.
you’re a toad’s boil.

fear consumes all
like an insatiable beast.
living on itself.

water is oily.
thicker than the blood of men.
winding down like clocks.

the hairless hamster
praying at profit’s altar.
addicted to cents.

everything must die.
entropy maintains the eye.
from man to machine.
