Life and The Match

by Robert Mendez Virgo - Not entered

Consuming all in sight
Hunger, never satisfied
It reaches out with its crimson hand
and cries to heaven
wanting.
Swirling in the wind
dancing the dance of the condemned
it flickers out
and all
that's left
is a blackened
stick.

Reason for writing:

    I am compiling a group of poems that I have written; entitled,
"Simultaneous Determination Of Self Description and Purpose For An 
Ephemeral Carbon Body: An Erractic Approach."  I wrote these
poems, not in hopes of publishing, but rather to replace
the traditional journal. Though not all are not autobiographical
I do try to ask questions that I have; hopefully one day I'll
have some of the answers.
