SMOKE MOTES
I could see the dancing flame,
Eyes of fright behind the windowpane.
Smoke motes vacated the flume,
While more vapor seeped into the room.
I tried to shout to people unaware,
Some looked but carried on without a care.
As every suffocating minute passed,
I could almost feel the heat at last.
I dare not open the door for fear,
I am engulfed in a fiery sphere.
Coughing, choking, constricting air,
My mind a tangle with despair.
If only a smoke alarm had been installed,
Lying on the floor coughing sprawled.
It seems so ironic that I’m coughing,
For not much longer that’s where I will be stopping.
Engine noises in my subconscious mind,
Getting fainter as the smoke entwined.
Soon the rasping stops I am still,
Not aware of the fireman’s drill.
Hot is replaced by cold, smoke taken away,
Now all that remains is a headstone and bouquet.
