Black Fire
My favorite pen quit writing.
The ink had run dry.
My poem was left… with out stanza.
My life story without end!
I pulled the lighter,
from my purse.
My hand; shaking badly,
I looked around to make sure,
no one watched,
or cared…
Then…
I sizzled the tip…
gently.
Ah…
in death…
the last moments written…
The body left empty,
the heart stopped,
and the spirit lifted.
