Matchstick poetry
By Rebel_not_Radical
Watch this matchstick poetry
As I light it
with phosphorous metaphors
That was born from a matchbox
tucked away in the alley
And ignited by pretty fingers
of manicured whores
You will watch as
it burns completely
Bending to the will of fire
as it chars it will hold this
eternal form
Feel and see this fragile
black scorched artistry
Because this poem is me

makes me think of Heraclitus that the eternal form behind art, behind us, is fire... a conflagration obscured by smoke, hidden by the ashes of our charred remains... awesome
