Kill the spark
the fire dies
Mute one voice
and Poets cry
Kill the larva
kill the host
Burn your bridges

Brilliant! the diming of the light by one candle blown out is what I got from the first bit. A little at a time in the end. And so we do for good or ill in this life
Amen, and like being a little bit pregnant, it works the other way too.
Excellent write Kurt
Thanks Man.
You're welcome
Kurt, this poem lands like a flare. That second stanza is pure explosive fire, my friend...no buildup, just detonation. “Burn your bridges / post by post” hit like a gut punch, as it should. Solid piece my friend. 🌹👏
Thanks TR. That's what I was going for.
Kurt
