baby we feed our fire with fire
burn hotter than the rest
for you baby, just for you
black vinyl melts
paper burns
words into ash
we burn with such intensity
they squint for a week
and still see spots
where we once stood
leaving them
searing
branded
singed
we are heat
they have to crawl low
belly to ground
to avoid burn
of nostril and lung
don't you love that-
to watch that crawl, baby,
to watch that crawl?
