Like a Phoenix
Little by little,
They rise in flames,
Like cigar bursting to smoke
and steam springing to vapours.
The shards sting my veins
I use fire to melt its crystal
Engraving its sizzle
and burying its pain once and for all
Believing the fire would billow
In haste to rise above all
Leaving me forever in glow.
Little by little
they rise in flames
Burning in ashes, my barren land.
