After Autumn's Ashes

By Rhys Ki

Eyes are hollowed halls,

Filled with shadows,


-Or moths? -

Fire, and cigarette smoke.


Surrounded by love :

Would have upheld me.

Splintering cold on winter days-

I like to make snow angels.

But, look at that plane...

Bet it goes to heaven.


Terminally cold.

What would it make me

If I told
the wind?


Freezing rain to sweeping cinders.

With the atmosphere ablaze,

Only happy when

Nothing’s left to burn,


Sparks eat the sky.

Something’s being set right…



Somewhere.
