Fire Alarms
They’re not dangling
But hanging.
You don’t see them in
All colors but white.
They’re loud and
And very piercing to the ears.
Hot smoke rises and
You feel all the fears.
If you make a decision don’t
Let it end with a surgical incision.
Don’t let your face
Become a dune,
But, now there’s no lines
Of age but sticky and doom.
Don’t let the
flames build pressure
While the solid roof falls inside
And gets hotter and collides.
If the door-knob is hot
And the fire rages,
If this is a book
And the flames are on the pages?
Don’t let yourself become cream
And melt with steam.
But—look for God
And have the firemen save you.
No matter the outcome
Your family will love you too.
