The Burning: 10-08-02

dull grey clouds
send chilly wind
and cold rain
on my skin

brush fire, bonfire
bonfire, bonesfire
burn, baby, burn

lurid orange flames
redden my face
touch the sky
like minature suns

brush fire, bonfire
bonfire, bonesfire
burn, baby, burn

charred black logs
once mighty timbers
now eaten by fire
like so much meat

brush fire, bonfire
bonfire, bonesfire
burn, baby, burn

fine white ash
dances around me
swirls on high
like strange snowflakes

brush fire, bonfire
bonfire, bonesfire
burn, baby, burn

heat and ash
soot and smoke
the smell of burning
in my clothes and hair

brush fire, bonfire
bonfire, bonesfire
burn, baby, burn!
