1
a home burns memories like calories
avaricious flames dance
timber bones become a charcoal skeleton
smoke rises like grief
2
a dopamine blaze rages
chemically consuming lives
while ash piles up behind eyes
and love fights for life
with smoke filled lungs
3
leaves smolder in yards
a smudge to fight off summer
and a prayer for winter to bring
his blanket and smother
the fires that consume us
