Born under stairs
candle light
dot darkness
Pain rides bare back
stick to skin
bores through bone
Memories crochet
blood stained words
choke silence
Stay together alone
secrets panic flutter
ancestors shout
Burn this house down
gut everything
nothing left to save
Scorched earth turns
inside out
past swallows
Present in flames
smoke circles
last generation
Buried under blanket
of ashes dirt
peace raises white flag.
