Unfixable

by Chantal Biggar​ '19

​If you could hear
the wildfires as they are scorching
crackling
embers raining
trees crumble to ashes

If you could see
the waves which shatter barriers
surround and drowning
fizzling to the surface
You are cold 
like the depths from which 
your waves reside above
Your hands
ignite a fragile leaf
Burning timeworn trees
along your path set ablaze


You reside 
within a tenebrosity
These ruins of your doing
resulted from an impassable heart
