MICROPOETRY

Tinkering with Scripture

To support a false narrative

Watch me

carry this
this bottomless container
atop my head

wandering the streets

calling
begging

for donations of hot coals

to heap upon your head
to quell this burning fire

within my heart

raging
screaming
testifying

to the heat of your betrayal

Watch me

burn myself
