Feel the Burn

I sensed the scent of extinguished fire,

Flowing like dim witted candles

Like freshly lit incense sticks

But aromatic of burnt corpses

Burned corpses buried under rubble

Cemented in nature, blankets,

Blanketing, wrapping bodies

Which sleep to the burning lullaby

Lullaby sung by engulfing fire

That melted metal, skin, hearts,

The fire has burned out, but the burn

Remains, like the extinguished fire I sensed
