Love In Ashes

October 29, 2019

A distant scream,

the future cries,

our past to burn

unclaimed

Predictions simmer,

forecasts stir,

denials rage

enflamed

All promise broken,

hearts on fire,

reasons singed with

pain

With love in ashes,

hope to scald,

and freedom left

—in shame

(Dreamsleep: October, 2019)
