"I accept chaos. I am not sure whether it accepts me. I know some people are terrified of the bomb. But then some people are terrified to be seen carrying a modern screen magazine. Experience teaches us that silence terrifies people the most."Bob Dyl


Bugs bounced off the broken beams
of blistered boards.
Dust particles expanded their
parachuts

to wage
a war of neglect on
Heaven of years past.

It's good that memories
Can't burn
Can't crumble
Can't die

Because walls fall
but memories float with
the dust.

It's about a house fire that occurred when I was little.
