Inside, the lights are growing

chairs burn like candles

slowly & with purpose

we sit stationary - unmotivated by flame

the fabric bursts & smolders

as we ourselves erupt, we recall a favorite passage

something like: "and with you, it is a pleasure to burn"

& locked in eyes, slowly lost to ash

as we are pleasantly obliterated
