Ash.

Ash. ☥☥☥☥☥☥☥☥ The Day, That The Whole World Went Away. The Day, That The Whole World Went Blind. An Eye For An Eye. An Eye For An Eye. The Whole World Is Blind. Like The Camp Fire Before Me. Up In Smoke. The Whole World Went Away. Alone, I Sit. The Dry Logs Glow, And Wisps Of Ash Dance Steadily, Into The Air. Dry Pine Needles Abound, Blanketing The Ground. God's Parting Gift. Alone. One Final Adieu. Like The Logs In The Stone Fire Pit. The Church Bells Ring. But Nobody Comes. The Hardwood Pews Are Empty. The Whole World Has Gone Away. Scattering. Dispersing. Like The Grayish, Airborne Ashes, That Float Around Me. I Am Blind Now. Everything Is Gray. But I Can Feel The Warmth Of The Fire. The Flames Crackle Softly, And I Can Hear The Church Bells Ringing. Ringing. Ringing. As I Sit Before The Eternal Flame, Of The Alter. The Church Bells Ring, But Nobody Comes. I Feel The Warmt...

Deh Beets.

I Am Like The Beets, Because I Grow In The Ground. I Can Be Juiced, Roasted, Steamed, Braised, Or Poached. I Come In A Variety Of Colours, And Shapes, And Sizes. I Am Like The Truffles. I Am Small, Obscure, And Nameless, But Also, Dense, Substantial, Coveted, Desirable, And Distinctly Earthy. Throughout The Day And Into The Night, The Hogs Dig Through The Dirt, In Search Of Me. I Am, A Tasty Morsel. I Am, Like The Plethora Of Freshly-Harvested Nuts And Seeds, That Sit In Giant Burlap Sacks In The Farmer's Truck Bed. The Squirrels Drool Over Me, And Given The Opportunity Will Readily Partake Of Me.

Hippocratic Oath.

##### I Will Not Manipulate Any Of My Peers, For My Own Selfish Cravings. I Will Place The Collective Health, On Equal Standing With, The Needs Of The Individual. I Will Share My Deepest, Most Emotionally Moving Feelings, With Those Select Few, Who Have Rightfully Earned This Honor, By The Qualities Of Their Strong Characters. I Will Award Merit, Where Merit Has Been Rightfully Earned. I Will Eschew Violence, And Malice, And Greed, In Favor Of Principle, And Character, And Chivalry. I Will Exude The Courage, To Stand Up, And Talk. I Will Also Embrace The Courage, To Sit Down, And Listen. Dedicated, To A Sense Of Honor. #####

Flames.

Encircled. By A Pack Of Wolves. Encircled. Razor Tooth. Trench Knife. Dagger Claw. Sand. Concrete. Closing In. Rubble. Sand. SIEGE. AND ADVANCE. Trembling. Bleeding. Last Legs. Trembling. Siege. And Advance. No Answer. Bleeding. Bleeding. Burning. Help Me. No Answer. Silence. Expiring.
