On Fire
written by: Trevor Graham
stone sparked char meat greets
the rise of fire-eyed mankind
anti-pyros froze
torch terrors scorch towns
score war-torn bone scorn and gold
big brains birth black blood
missiles never miss
sol’s hearth drips hot hydrogen
earth embers piece pleas
shrimp chimps think…aha!
crowd the canopy cosmos!
spheres siphon stars dry
last chimps pass, stars ash
embers exhaust energy
no meat at heat death
