elemental

we are fragile things

By Rebekah JoannePublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Air burns swallowed down

As it goes its vicious claws

Cling to me like flames

-

My throat burning hot

I cannot drown this feeling

It lives inside me

-

Oh, to be grounded

To let the earth devour me

Whole, and completely

-

To let the ocean

Take me, engulf me, put out

This wildfire of mine
