Reduced to Ashes
Chris Butler
I feel cleaner
reduced to ashes,
seducing me into
spontaneous
combustion,
as a cataclysmic
catalyst initially
extinguished
by secreting
territorial piss,
before mercury
colored blood
boils bubbles over
charred coals,
choking termite
fed trees into
kindling, subsequently
creating
cremation by
sacred ceremonies
inside of Nazi ovens,
and scattered
across some
serene scenery,
against the
freest breeze.
