He sees himself in flame

A billion embers smoldering
Helium charcoal
Lithium licks his toes
Sonic grave under heavy conscience
Snaps!

Burning as the sun
he buries his thoughts in the flame
Furious sparks charge his immortal core
This is what they call a heat-crunch neutrino spinal tap
The blue point screams where the candle is hottest

Until the gas ghost is delivered by a freezing jet-stream
of frozen mercury aimlessly melting,

He sees himself in flames
Like fire to a feather:
Incinerated rapidly
to a glowing crisp
of dust
