leaves falling to the ground
trees turning brown
forests disappearing
as snow engulfs
shivering body
with torn clothes
surrounded by nature’s force
small fire
by which it lies
burning it’s
last amber

drinking, stumbling
stair case, earthquake
screeching, grabbing
woman, bruising
pouring, sickening
bottle, shattering
boy, pretending
listening, ignoring
blood, flowing
pool, rising
cigarette, burning
flames, engulfing
smoke, rising
ashes, floating
