lady of ashes
more ember than human
flame engulfed flesh
burning down bridges
no longer safe to cross
eating up houses
no longer homes
just hollowed out hearts
with out inhabitants

son of the ocean
no soft flowing stream
hurricane hands
uprooting whatever he can
drowning those who dare
to swim too deep
without being invited

colliding catastrophes
steam, crack, sizzle
of hand against hand
canceling out the
destruction in each other
chaotic contrast
evaporating into clouds of grey
docile identities
formed out of destructive behavior
