fire

my phoenix waits impatiently to get out  its cage.
it's been howling like a hungry mad dog,
and shrieking like a burning child.

it only strikes where there's but darkness.

pungent thoughts hover,
all covered with jealousy,
spreading the wings of my phoenix
inside its narrow cage.

savor the pleasure of its rage.
carefully listen to its roar.

for when i release it, you will realize
that it brings no harm but only ecstasy
to barren, dull people like you.
