Through the Crackling Fire Pit

Stubborn feet walk the plank--
hot coals which burn the souls,
of feet and crave the pane--
from windowed glass.

Ouch,
I whisper.

Tears drench my face,
as they cascade--
from the plateau which are
mine eyes,
down to my feet.


Sssss...
the coals reply.

The symphony which plays
songs of farewell.
To this impassioned child
I bore, but now--
give away.


I run away.
Looking,
forward.
Only forward.

It still burns.
