Void In the Fire
the fire is contained
its noxious gray exhalation dissipates
its horror briefly subdued
(a bomb cyclone detonates in the freezing wind)
memories of the departed
haunting a cold lifeless room
fading into numbing nullification
(apparitions drift through a punctured psyche)
almost all gone now
alone as words become muted
alone as I flail in a savage sea
(howling & hurtling toward a horribly merciful
void
