aflame in its entirety, everything around me aglow
blinded by the light, i have lost my way
i lay cowering to these fiery embers
fearful of life-long scars

i have been consumed.
trapped, drowning in this hole of fire.

if calming was as simple as yawning
of this fire, that is spawning
only slowly is it dawning;
yet solely gnawing.

“everything is burning again”
indeed it surely is.
