Blues

This simmering 
Desire for
Abandoned places.
Irresistible longing 
For fading traces.

Fantasy that 
Grows for the
Falling moons.
The pull I feel 
Towards the 
Dying stars.

My heart must 
Have been cast in
A volcano that 
Refused to 
Douse itself. 

This greed to 
Live even when 
I'm dead.
Compulsion to
Make the blues
My friends.

Maybe that's why,
I am swimming in
The smoke of
The bridges I've
Burnt.
