Poetry

and what is it?

that whisper through lightning bolt.

wooden curls

from ash,

crack in your wall.

could you get close enough to touch it,

reach in and get something from it?

but what help would it be?

what lies in the burn wound

of your house, but heat?

but rocks.

you will ask what it wants tonight.

in sightlessness, you still feel

ash shuddering
