Volatile
I’ve set my inspiration ablaze,
Swallowed the words
And choked on the gunpowder.
Pay no mind to the ruin.
My words now exit
In flaming rivulets
That smolder in my throat.
Beware when you see the smoke
Seeping behind my teeth
For one small spark will end us both.
From my book Feral Verse: Poetry Cut from the Heart.
