Consuming Fire

I’m breathing this fire that consumes me1

it rots my bones and melts me2

its flames spread through my brain and confuses me3

I can’t help breathing what intoxicates me 4

Because I can’t stop what I’m tossed into5

I can’t choose the pedigree of family of community6

But I can hold my breath and watch its flames dance around me7

Tempting my fingers to stroke its violence and insecurities 8

Wanting me to breathe in its supposed hospitality 9

The flames twist through my arteries coiling around my veins10

Compressing me choking me11

I can’t breathe out the fire that came in12

Hear me scream words that burst into flame13

Feel tears that sizzle down my cheeks14

Watch me jump into a pool of cool water15

and evaporate into the sky 16

Fire letting go of its grip on my skin17

Fire sprinkling droplets of snow18

kissing the earth’s dirty cheek. 19
