I made it to
the edge of thought
with consciousness
ablaze
I escaped the fire
but not the heat
all memory
a haze
I just got out
when fate attacked
from inside
burns the past
To leave me orphaned
without a home
my legacy
— in ash

A Language Affair
Do you write
pretty words
with a message
unchanged
Does intent
leave you vacant
the darkness
sustained
Do you ponder
and flirt
in a language
affair
Do you kiss
and then tell
without promise
or care
Do you vow
to do better
with love
on reprieve
Does your heart
leave you jilted
next breath
— to deceive
