poem #685

At the world’s end; A paper house, set on fire
Its majesty wrenched free from the earth
Its spires burned free of their berth
Old men of fairy tales, Screaming from each window
"Save us from each other, Save us from ourselves"
Watching, the house ascends
Into ashes and embers
Into ashes and fireflies
