Will be absent until Jan 6th. Happy holidays to all!
Early embers
Early morning
Left over from the fire last night
The arsonist is long gone by now
My house
All ruined
But you haven't killed me yet
Somehow I make it out alive again
Embers remain
Years later
They still burn me quite often
It wasn't the arsonist's intention
But it was his fault
