first on the block, imagine a battlefield
place all your soldiers, your worthy, your throwaways
wrap them in silver, burn them alive
assure them it’ll be ok soon
second at bat, k!ll all your enemies
shove a sword in any dragon that told you you couldn’t take the burden
the sun on the blade, the twilight of victory
sew a boat together and let her carry you home
finish the web, third it’s a panoply
been locked in the wardrobe with a victrola scratching
the world ending trumpet of a toilet lid slamming
a tooth on an eggsh-ll, maybe something new hatching

i’ll burn down your house if it means that i’ll k!ll the termites
i’ll burn down your house if it means that i’ll get you out

an inkwell could save us, or it could be our ending
an octagon halo above an elemental blaze
seventeen dollars in a sun hardened wallet
and all the blood that carried you tepid in your veins
with every stroke you told me that i could be authentic
or a knife in a stump, or a fish without scales
a stymied affection or a gushing watercolor
yet as long as it breathes, there is love in the pail
i knew you the best i could, i knew you thematically
you were invincible! i shat my overalls
a wasp in an apple and the fathoms i pine for
a fear can be conquered but a grief’s a hollow call
i’ll burn down my house if it means that i’ll k!ll the termites
i’d burn down my house if it meant that i’d get you out
all palaces are not temporary palaces
regardless of what survives
the mantra is simple

i followed the steps that you laid out so lovingly
but the book’s pretty wrecked at this point
there’s pages i’ve ripped out that i’ll never get back
and other memories that i won’t anoint
this sensation of closing a hardcover novel
a hardened catalyst of bird nests and heart
but still, frequent glimpses of what’s been inherited
the same old d-mn truth of true solace in art

i’ll burn down your house if it means that i’ll k!ll the termites
i’ll burn down your house if it means that i’ll get you out
all palaces are not temporary palaces
regardless of what survives
the mantra is simple
stop fires save lives
