Seeking

 

by Christopher Hivner

 

I walked through

the fire

to reach you,

the flames still

flaring on my skin

as we touched,

but instead of putting

me out

you poured gasoline

over my body

and threw a lighter

at my feet.

My gait through

the conflagration

has slowed

but I’m on my way

following your

trail of sulfur.

 

 

 

Christopher Hivner writes from a small town in Pennsylvania surrounded by books (a little bit of everything) and the echoes of music (mostly hard rock/heavy metal and blues). His horror/dark fantasy poetry collection, Dark Oceans of Divinity, was recently published by Cyberwit.net. Facebook: Christopher Hivner - Author, Twitter: @Your_screams
