firefight
temperature rising
fire storm raging inside
her soul skin is scalded
blisters sizzle her mind
parsimony lost in translation
thoughts on autopilot and overdrive
emotions opposing each other
and her restless Self
seek and she will find
pot of gold
charcoal incinerator
catatonic cauldron
roasted synapses
or heavenly peace
a rainbow melts into oblivion
the void teases resolve
agony waits in patience
for resilience to scorch
when the past lingers on
with future uncertain
all she has is the present moment
short lived and eternally feverish
a pyretic meltdown knows no limits
and yet she is a survivor
and not a victim
