Suddenly the lights go out.
I hear sirenss, people shout,
Look up and see my house on fire.
Each flame seemed to go higer and higher.
Next day I didn't know what to say.
Crying didn't take my blues away.
Empty feeling told me I had to pray.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.

I am glad someone read this poem. The poems I write are heartfelt.
