"Welcome Fire"
Comes to the edge
Long, broken road behind
Everyone fled
None to mind
Scattered gear
The wages of war
- only company
Seen this vast expanse
Now this, this, this
Here the gauntlet falls
Metal will taste
- no success
Helmet joins the ravages
Sword bites the earth
Every piece
- once shielded llife
Now strewn
- before this edge
Naked, standing
Before this edge
Wall of flame
Fire fills the void
War has led
Blood
- the golden brick road
Death and peace
Hell and chaos
None the wiser
But this is end
End in thought
End in fire
End of passion
End of fire
End by self
End by the flame
No question remains
Only the hesitancy
- to jump
A hand passes through
Like the finger of a child
- through the flame of a candle
A hand becomes an arm
Arm the chest
One leg
Then another
- swallowed by fire
A swell of dust
Sole leaves this earth
War left behind
None left to mind
