death

there was the demon
hidden somewhere between
a bad and a repressed memory
a swollen indent remain where he sat
sore to the touch and bleeding
victims lay round the pedestal
brainwashed and angry at the house
the idea of eternal fire
seemed the best choice
perspective changes
when juxtaposed to nothing
extinguish yourself
put out a fire
it becomes carbon in the soul

that requires no great strength

to find the spark
that ignites the flame
and set us all ablaze
life learned must become
life unlearned and
learning from yourself
means dying in the worst of ways
