here one day
gone the next
just like
summer morning dew
beautiful and flourishing
until burned by the sun
it's like a knife
cutting daffodils
brutal, efficient
uncompromising
******
gasoline
poured on embers
embers
that hoped to die
I'll burn it all
all of it
and watch the flames
watching it all
slip hopelessly
into oblivion
