Fireplace Blues

She talks of broken love

He smells cheap perfume

Mother cries all night

They all drink Daddy’s blood....

Sister please tell when

Brother will u be there

Lord we shall feast,

There will be laughter

There will be wine

There will be answers,

Tongue will swallow

Anything in sight..

Burn pages in the city square

Sit out all day in the snow

Buy placards

Find someone..

The fireplace shall burn tonight;

I shall sacrifice my lover’s gift

For the wood that burns

The tree that is no more..

Fumes live in hollowed heavens

Deep inside mournful lungs

And the mind lies reckless

Searching for a perfect start

After the last finishing..

There is vision

There is reaction

There is joy

There is grief

There are songs,

There is just one voice.....
