• I am the invisible phoenix
    Ashes to ashes to the sky
    Watch me fly towards the stars
    Watch me with closed eyes

    The end feels like the beginning to me
    Another stage or season I may not remember
    Another reason to accommodate everyone else’s dreams
    Will you miss me? Will I see you again?

    This fate lay waiting for me,
    No noose; no bullet; no icy metal chair;
    Poison stings through no vein of mine
    The velvet-lined box- empty, for someone else

    Let these flame-licked sticks break my bones
    I won’t feel a thing, asleep and alone
    My body’s last breath kindles the fire
    Calling for the payment of grief in tears

    Now that the earth hast lost me
    I have truly found myself
    And I know what happens next,
    I know it too late to let you know
    How it is
