BLACK MARINE: 'z' {Salamander in a Burning Room}

"Nada, darling, setting fire to the barn it was a pleasure, a pleasure to burn you could have saved them your precious cradled ones but you watched the flames lick watched the colours turn. swathes of smoke choking out the house the bonfire rages through pages of family trees it’s all just blue touch-paper exquisite fire came and put us all to sleep. “hush, my bonnie bairns catch fire from the moon cast me monster or god as you sneak back in the womb burn, my babies, burn snuffed out all too soon.” O. salamander in a burning room. hibakusha burning the seat of power such a foul & awesome display shadows of planes gliding across the towers too many ghosts in the black ember rain now we’re all sons of bitches love me, smother me, blink me away. “love me if you can, my sickly dying prince as i suck the air from you with one last lingering tinder kiss rest, my bonnie bairn in blackred blooms, in peace”.
