Weekend Writing Prompt | Summer Nights

Emine L.A. Beasley2 Comments 
The glow of fire
      millennial fire mind you
      4K on YouTube
      “most realistic HD crackling”
Cosies me on summer nights
      summer nights cold with neglect
      not lonely
      content in my own company
Candles join the party
      black amber
      wild lavender
            all the plants I grow are wild
            really they grow themselves
            I just let them live rent free
Their flames move like arms at a rave
      a rave more real than my fire
      scents of drunk grass, unwashed souls
      smeared in metaphorical mud of mental illness
      we all seem pigs in mud these days.

Written for Sammi’s Weekend Wrting prompt!
