fire

naughts and ones heavy.
unruly children corralled.
technology fail.

there’s a school of thought.
better to be paid than bought.
freedom won hard fought.

the crackling of dawn.
smashes to splinters my dreams.
blood on horizon.

dante’s inferno.
glass disc sun hot as dog’s breath.
wagging days of fall.

broken twig from tree.
lies dead and does not revive.
as does broken man.

little victories.
whispers of breath on cold air.
seen but then vanish.
