THE FIRST THING ABOUT FIRE BY PRINCE JOE

THE FIRST THING ABOUT FIRE

Is that, you get unknown to the already known
of your body, & you begin leaking like soft noises
dropping like burning flames in a snowfall.
it's true, how you get addicted to the origin
of your body that begins from your date of birth,
they will always tell you to run before
the fire start & never listen to the pastor
reciting bible infront of mosque
it's never bad to know the beginning of where
you came from, but sometimes, having
a concept of your origin gives you an ideology
of your death, it doesn't mean anything
to migrate to a place burning like hell
that's how to know how God hate you
& how god doesn't care to accept you in return.
fire doesn't take you anywhere you wish,
it's only when your ashes
desires to carry you to a holy place of dead
graduated students of silence.
i swear, to begin this poem before was a boy
begging to taste a drop of water in my mouth
& i don't know what to do than
to kiss his lips to feel the depth
but hell is boring, there's no sweetness at all
& to end this poem is a thing of joy
at least, i will know i still have a chance to breathe.
