this is it, the end, the fire you firmly placed inside of my mouth
slowly burning my will to talk
To have a real song it was cleared by your fiery pyre
You placed fire, I had no air
No water
Your smoke inhaled my water
Your gurgling, starving coals ate through my heart’s water
I felt a roar-melancholy-death
Stage my descent
Into the last flames
The last flames that prickled and blistered tiny piece by tiny piece just as you sparked the first time
Yes, a death that hit me in waves of different heated fires with hues of blue, red, yellow, orange
You roared hell-fire,
I firmly stayed water
A light tap of my cluffy, soft drop
Hit your inferno, wrapped up in Azidoazide Azide (C₂N₁₄):
A brilliant, blinding flash of hot, white light as hot as a quasar core
I spiral into your supermassive gut-hole
Eating my own heart to satisfy your flames.
