Extinguish
Flames of Death Danced Around Me
Fire burns bright
The spark does ignite
Passion glows
Oxygen
You fed my soul's flame
Breath so sweet
Once in love
I used to smile
Perfect lie
Whisky brings
Cruel evil always
Hide, my loves!!
Liquor fueled
Demon eyes appear
Hell is here
Terrified
My poor children hide
While I fight
Strangled me
Hands crushing my throat
Breath now gone
Who are you?!
On me were your hands
Not in love
Tried firmly
To extinguish me
Brutally
My smile gone
My body lifeless
My babes wail
How could you?!
You were my Fireman
My hero
My daughter
My courageous girl
Help me please
911 she rang
Amidst fear and pain
She saved us
Life of lies
I made so many
Excuses
My daughter
My true heroine
I’m still here
Sham Fireman
Pathetic human
I survived
You fucked up
Do not close your eyes
I still fight
Fantasies
Of Reckoning Day
Engulf me
Prison for
The deadly Fireman
We demand
We smile again
We are not victims
We survived!

And the Sun Came Up Tremendous
In memory of the 12 girls who were among the first victims of the atomic age. The screen on Mara's smartphone screamed beams of blue light into her eyes as she doom scrolled through social media. It was 4:13am, and she was still laying on her side in her bed unable to let go of the news headlines whipping past.
