On Fire

I can hear the whispers
of fire
the crackling and snaps
call to me.
Impending brilliance clouds my eyesight.
I could be engulfed
in crimson petals
Smoke could fill my empty lungs
and inside pure sunshine
not muddy yellow but
cadmium caressing quinacridone
I would dissipate
to the heavens
like smoke.
