Inferno

Burnt hands, burnt feet incinerated skin can’t eat
Temperature rising, smoke neutralizing all that’s broke
Bubbling, screaming, burning pain ringing, only bones remain
The flames of memories still burn glowing coals in hand clenched to learn
Blackened flesh, heart turned ash, flames refresh the sting of the lash
Open wound, silence
Scar broken needles
Love’s butchering violence 
Chars on church steeples
