burning out

snaking through the air
like a burnt out question mark
smoldering and smoking in the distance
i see you fade into the night
growing dark and brittle
touching the ground with ash
lost in the breeze
i see you stare through me
with those vacant eyes
blistering with the sun
burning and blowing and growing
and sucking down the darkness with ha fervor
touch me here and lick me there
we can watch the end burn away
naked on roof tops
sucking down chemicals like a means to an end
and laughing as the world comes undone
narrators of the apocalypse
with a smile burning like a question mark in the sun
