My Black Eyes
by E. A. PughMy black eyes
rise again the phoenix inside me
lies begat the victims between us
suddenly, agape alone you stand covered in ashes
watching as the phoenix blazes through oceanic skies
goodbye
I fly
my wings blaze and burn
pound and absorb your meaningless air
I fly with victims in each talon
goodbye
agape alone covered in ashes
