Eyes glow
Ears go blind
As the sky is decorated
with orbs of light

Daytime stars
Jump through the puddles
That stain the grass red
Their forms
Send lights through the village

Ash rains down
As the screams slip through
the lifeless hands
Of those who have fallen

Sparks
are launched into the sky
And hit the ground with a deafening hush

Souls
whisper their goodbyes
As their cloudy beings weave through
Their lovers’ silent arms

Their bodies hover
And witness the beginning assault
Until they can stay no longer

They follow the sparks
To the sky
And watch the fire


Sink.
And disappear
Underneath the life
That everyone will soon forget
