Analysis of fire on high

T. moonsong 2002 (Oregon)



Red yellow blue flames lick,
tickle flick eat consume soles
it doesn't care the red glare
it exists to consume

I have seen from the hills,
I have felt from within and without,
I have been,

FIRE it surrounds and becomes you
fire is life and death
and it just doesn't care as long as it is fed
