Work Text:
sitting on a cliff face,
high above the earth,
gazing even higher,
seeing how
the sky is on fire.
the clouds are painted
with orange and red.
the sun is ablaze,
on fire, the sky stays.
a mountain,
magma and ash spilling out the top,
blocking out the sun,
and yet,
the sky’s fire cannot be outrun.
closing the eyes,
letting darkness take over,
the heat is immense,
and the sky is still on fire.
