Insatiable Flame
September 29, 2019
The body submits to
The Fire.
The beast observes
How its victims’ flesh tastes of
Charcoal and
Metallic undertones.
The inferno engulfs
Everything in its path,
Trapping each victim in its
Feverish belly
Throats choke up screams,
Yet not one person is heard.
The walls are falling apart
They cry hot paper tears
Forming drooping piles on
The cold floor,
Which has not yet been subjected to the greedy mouth of
Wood’s enemy.
Destruction transforms into Pain. Pain is molded into Mourning. Mourning dissolves into eternal Indifference.
At least that’s how the Fire feels...

I wrote this on a whim. It is from the perspective of fire, a particularly cruel element which has the power to take lives and cause extreme destruction and suffering.
