Bonfire
Photo by B.R. Henry
I feel reckless
Destructive.
I want to tear things up
Everything you touched
Has to go.
The sheets on the bed
GONE
The towels and washcloth
GONE
The gifts you gave me
GONE
Every picture of you
GONE
I feel incensed,
The anger coming out of me.
BURN
Everything in a pile,
a smile on my face.
BURN
It all has to go!
SNAP
What am I doing?
This will not change
what is between us.
GONE
It will not take away the pain
When its all burned to ash.
BURN
I will still be left
with the problem of you
And
I will be short a
few beloved possessions
