Decomposition

DECOMPOSITION

a bit more fuel
enough to drown the skeletons
allow them to sit a bit
absorb the meaning
before setting a blaze
to this pile of bones.
light the paper
advance the flame causiously
dropping carelessly singes the
fire starters hand

sparks fly
connections cut short
fear of electric shock
singed eyebrows
burnt fingers
cardiac arrest
aortic clogs
strangled cries
the flames engulf
disintegrating everything
ever known.

Yanno? I've watched your writing get better and better through the years. This is a fine piece!

It's HOT! ;)

(title reminded me of the joke about Mozart. You know what he's doing now, right? Yep. That's right. Decomposing. lol ;))

I'm just glad I'm not decomposing with him. ;) Yep. thanks. I guess with age comes better writing...or maybe it's just a clearer head.


love ya
Deb.

with age comes
a clearer sense
of what
your missing

when the princess
kisses the frog
& becomes a frog

this is considered
a happy ending

with good reason
