Flaming Curtain Call

In fiery 
chaos
flames flick
toward
things 
the 
heat in 
my heart 
harkens
memories
to bring.
Winter white 
jacket 
my 
son 
loved 
so much
it's been 
eight years 
since it felt 
his touch.
My moms garnet 
she wore 
on her hand
an empty 
circle 
now silent 
gold 
band.
My favorite 
stuffed bear
with the 
hole in 
his 
gut 
and nose 
chewed off
by my
childhood mutt.
The certificate
to prove 
I entered
this life
yet amiss
and 
burned 
is the suffer 
and strife.
Oversized 
wretched purse
that 
collects 
the stuff
my shoulder 
cries out
enough
enough!
The journal
to witness
Gods 
goodness 
to me
an heirloom 
the promise
my family 
tree.
Eyeglasses 
behold
the beckoning 
blaze
bow 
with the 
curtain
continue 
lifes' 
maze.
