Summer of wildfires

i bottle a lightning
swallow sleeping pills
over mushroom of dark clouds
questions flare in my head
stroked by fire coals 
on summer night
i salt my lungs
amidst flashing siren & neon lights
into slumbering waters
i slip away
scattered dust and pollen
fragile is a seed
burnt raw - in the inside
.....alone

.....alone

burnt-raw in the inside

fragile seeds,

scattered dust and pollen

slipping away

into slumbering waters

amidst flashing siren & neon lights

i salt my lungs

on summer night

stroked by fire coals 

questions flare in my  head

i, mushroom of dark clouds?

or unswallowing sleeping pills

i, bottle of lightning?
