The Town, The Fire

The mountain is on fire

And the burning horse

Is running across the hills

Spreading chaos wherever it goes

A man twists his boot on a cigarette

He looks at the mountain

And spits in the street



Smoke covers the town

People run to their houses

And flowers retreat back

Into their buds



Men and women suddenly strangers

Fend for themselves,

Kicking, Screaming

Trapped like a fox



The town is on fire

And there is no escape

And you have left me

For good.



All that remains is ash

With time only


Can it one day vanish.
