the sky is on fire and still
we make all of it so quiet
why do we even whisper?
did someone say we need help?
no, they just don't understand
the sky
they need that
i don't know how to show them
we barely see each other but for sure
i can promise you
i can even raise my hand and tell
everything is great
but everything is going red
and the noise flows in our veins
and I can't take
a full
one
breath
i don't see a fire
-you said
and i was looking at my feet
they looked like they want to run away
and yes.
I'm moving from left to right
from right to left
sometimes even two steps back to
find
some
air
the sky begins to fall down
too much fire - they say
not enough water in us
to even look up and make it smaller
to ask if everything is all right
but we were together
they said you were there
but sometimes i think
all of that is because
i was
maybe because
i was the pyromaniac
and blocked the water
with the switch
under my hand
maybe someday
the air will bring the water we need
to make us believe
the sky was in need
