fire

the ghosts amongst us.
the most hallowed eve indeed.
samhain slays satan.

the earth nods asleep.
i alone awake at helm.
turn into daylight.

goodbye summer sun.
winter’s shadow eclipsed heart.
you went down in flames.

in the capital
banging sticks are barking loud.
blood on the maple.

when nothing changes
we can only help ourselves.
chrysalis begin.

skin soft as butter.
rouge blushed cheeks not from powder.
love a battlefield.
