Burning Pages

A Poem

Photo by cottonbro from Pexels

1 You lay on your couch one evening, reading Lolita because it was my favourite. The lamp flickered at three-minute intervals, the anxiety-inducing red room.

2 Pages scattered across the floor, pickings from different books. The potato peeler rested against your knee, ready to pick away at the scabs covering your lips.

3 Making impressions on our brains, bringing back the philosophy we knew. Sartre to Camus, Nietzche to Diogenes — we were going to take the world into our hands.

4 Carving the space in the woodwork, the glowing worms will bore into the pockets of knowledge that will set us on fire. Our souls burning into the midnight oil.
