A bright red glow emerges above the trees The light evokes a morbid curiosity in me A primal instinct that draws me to the light A house on fire, a house burning The light evokes a morbid curiosity in me We gather like flies to something that died A house on fire, a house burning “Was anyone inside? Anyone hurt?” We gather like flies to something that died Flames lick the walls as the roof falls in “Was anyone hurt? Anyone inside?” Despite the heat, I shiver Flames lick the walls as the roof falls in A primal instinct that draws me to the light Despite the heat, I shiver A bright red glow emerges above the trees

Morbid curiosity –A Pantoum
A bright red glow emerges above the trees The light evokes a morbid curiosity in me A primal instinct that draws me to the light A house on fire, a house burning The light evokes a morbid curiosity in me We gather like flies to something that died A house on fire, a house burning “Was anyone inside? Anyone hurt?” We gather like flies to something that died Flames lick the walls as the roof falls in “Was anyone hurt? Anyone inside?” Despite the heat, I shiver Flames lick the walls as the roof falls in A primal instinct that draws me to the light Despite the heat, I shiver A bright red glow emerges above the trees
