fire of autumn

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
