Emily Habermehl: 9 Poems
Excerpt From Poem"Fire"
"It’s not like
She’s never tasted fire
It had engulfed her, forcing her skin to blister
Flames whipped up in the folds of her skirt
Smoke smothered her face
Flames chewed her eyelashes to the root
Her tonsils singed she couldn’t always
Talk
(Scream)
She had stood in a burning storm that turned her sky to ash
It wasn’t that she couldn’t take the heat
(She had a metal lock box for her vital organs)
It was simply time
To stop burning
She makes graves for cinders
She’ll never write her stories in charcoal
Again..."
