If I were to envision my own death,
which I have done a million times
I crave fire
being burned, heavily, eagerly, infatuatedly, jealously, madly,
dramatically,
as if my whole life were a tragedy,
not the kind Shakespeare would write
but from the hand of a third-rate poet
and poets can't write tragedy
Needless to say,
everybody loves fire
so many great figures have depicted
where fire devours
everything goes into nihility and nirvana and nihility and nirvana, for eternity
People wail in despair, screeching, excruciating pain
yet hopeful,
as if they were too busy to spare one second to find out that they are the biggest idiots in the world
And I am enjoying this.
Our world suffers
we all suffer
I love when people suffer
the fire is raging, swelling, rampaging
in articulo mortis.
Near death throes,
but never actually dead
I will be sitting on the roof
laughing
condescending every other particle
as myself fall within an instant
I will feel the searing heat of my pain
my skin is fire
my bones are the fuel
and my soul—
wait,
I don't have a soul
Shaded by fire
I will cry
yet the land forbid tears.
Only through death and God's pride
my heart shall be silent tears
I will be drowned
I want to be drowned in fire
but one cannot drown in fire
just like
the rest and me
But I guess I don't deserve fire
after all my life is tedious and boring.
Like dust clinging to a corner of the window
but
at least dust can be seen
So I sit still,
lights off.
Just quietly dissolving
I blow out everything in the world
as I blow out a candle
