Desperate to Disappear

The match is lit as we laugh, 

drop it and watch it all burn,

this forest of dreams, 

flames crackling on smoking leaves

spitting sparks and dance towards the sky

waving one final goodbye and burst into ash

raining back down.

A soot blanket to warm the earth.

Knewl-post trees fold and bow, gnarl and age

before plaster dust clouds from buildings in shrouds of falling debris. 

A vortex whirlimg speedily around us as we sink into a dark ichor ring

and rise incorporeal.

To live again a life of shame and lewd desiring.

The breath of life, we steal, drawing it out of the flesh with the scythe of death;

our eternal lover.
