The Fire City

This is how I see you, a friend from the blood sky,
falling from skyscrapers.
Oh but every day, the sky bleeds.
When we met, it was on a green field
of strange days.
The field remains, and flames array themselves
along the edges. Here, I will always find you,
dancing through the flames to you.
Atop this hill, we will watch all that is burning
within us.
