Incinerate
My Daughter's Haiku Response to "Extinguish"
Dead of night
1:08 AM
Heavy eyes
Home at last
The football team lost
Wait, what’s that?
Around her neck
Your hands are wrapped tight
She can’t breathe
Visible
One sided struggle
I’ll save you
Fireman
Supposed to save lives
Not take them
My eyes wide
Internal fire sparks
Flaming rage
Unconscious
Momma please wake up
Motionless
Roaring flames
The heat increases
I’ll burn you
2 AM
911 please help
Remain calm
Lingering
The smell of whiskey
As you yell
Blistering
Sweltering heat waves
Fury builds
Heart rate spikes
Adrenaline rush
You won’t win
I dare you
I’ll set you ablaze
You coward
Flames engulf
13180
Fieldstone Loop
White hot blood
Boils within my veins
How dare you
Flashing lights
They have come for you
You can’t win
December
19th of 2020
We survived
We await
Proper justice served
But oh man…
How I wish
To incinerate
That fireman
