On Fire
By Omar Azam
Let us go then, you and I …
… other places.
I do things
that hurt everyone here.
me the most.
I am devout.
I sin
into phases
of monotone.
I want her to
know me
touch me
though the
same desire
reciprocated
deems us unhumble–
One unit
of time
here–
Next, I
can’t stand it.
I do
and am
in things
not the worst
imagine.
I will speak.
Don’t listen to
me.
I am
that state–
pledging
need
of immortality.
hope u enjoyed it. much love to the v.p. family
