Phoenix

A skyful of emptiness inside
a heart, stabbed to no end.
A scream choked in the throat,
to pain bespoke.
Eyes dry as sand flats
in the season of drought.
And a mind torn to shreds
by the hounds of hatred.
The wheel has turned
over and over my flesh,
the tower struck and lit
by flame, left but
immortal ashes behind.
