The Embers
Written by: Nathaniel Williams
Down on all fours,
rolling down the petrified carbon;
While we rumbled past,
while burning gas,
While rousting the dust to rise with the cigarette
smoke tossed and toiled as I took another drag
My fag that soon caught up and coiled
boiling in the broiled tempest,
the thick tempered oiled air,
To setting a fire aflare
I was barely aware
as I stared
Because it was unfair
just how fair your sun bleached hair
glinted in the light of the embers
of my fallen
coffin nail.
