One By One They Must Burn Poem by guillermo veloso

One By One They Must Burn



Spinning in this demon’s cocoon
Wrapped in holy silk and set away like
Lost summer loves
Letting the worlds I knew
Crash and burn one by one
On the penitent pyre
They must burn! !
I need to set them all
Aflame so I can find a new one
In the bony ashes, somewhere
To call home in the darkness
