Hush!

So red upon untainted snow

Your feet so clean and wholesome but

Steps branded by grief.

Chin deep in depression like a water

Against that raging, oceanic tide you swim

With no avail.

You burn with desire for fire

The fire of something supposedly wonderful, love

But the only thing alive is the blood painted kitchen

Burn, burn everything.

Burn the

The ties of those known

Severed like the crisp winter stalks

Not responding, not emanating a

Radiance of life.

Burn the

Letters of home and mother

The words, the comfort!

So very far away.

So it’s hot enough to be cold.

So burn.

Burn.
