Much like this raging dragon…I too am ready to burn down the corporate castles and eat the oligarchy. #burnitdown #startover #organize #acceptnothingless #youdeservebetter #dragon #tattoo #wip

I've never identified so much with a piece of art. Artist currently unknown. #gnome #burnitdown

An image of a small watercolor painting that depicts a bearded gnome in a tall pointy hat about to throw a Molotov cocktail.

What should I say?

— C. Oulens

I could say, “Burn
it down, burn it to its end!”
But how? They’re ashes.

I could say, “Throw
‘em downstream.” — But what if
the stream rages? —

or, “Stow it in an
urn!” But you might rub it wrong and —
wake
up
images…

I saw an art installation depicting this #HateCrime. Still haunts me. Happens TOO MANY times; once = too much. #PoemsAbout #BurnItDown @alanparry83.bsky.social @brokenspinearts.bsky.social #KeepCreative #PoetsSupportPoets #ReadRepostReply #AddAlt #PoetsofBlueSky #Poetry #PoetryCommunity #Racism

Texas Cottonwood

My soft gray lumber
walled this Black American church,
a home
you bastards burnt

not to resurrect
but to bury in ashes.

Breastfed on blood distilled
from shackling stolen people,
thorn-yoked, in cages,
you lit torches and sang

Hell no, you aren’t free!
Hell no, you aren’t free!

My smooth branched roof
charcoals the ground
a young artist scours,

gathering
to his slave-descendant chest
braised bits of bone, chipped teeth,
seared splinters of hope

to build an altar
syllable by syllable,
from beloved family names

now forever
out of your filthy reach,
in the chapel
of my yellow-green leaf canopy.

For my late contribution to #PoemsAbout #BurnItDown, here is my poem "Fireweed".. #poetry #poem #writing #writingcommunity

Fireweed

I thought it'd be harder, striking the match. Tossing it away. Watching the world disintegrate into hot light. But it was simple. Easy. As if everything had been waiting to burn. Waiting a long time. The world sighed a release, bowing to the heat and smoke. Now, the embers have gone cold, and ash covers the ground like powdered snow. I sit in the ruins, and wait. Soon, the fireweed will appear. Bright, pink graffiti flowers to cover the wound, reaching down into all the hurting with soft, small roots.

As if they know something I don't, and
everything could be ok again, one day.

A meagre contribution by me to this week's #poemsabout on the theme of #burnitdown. Nonetheless, I feel it's not wholly out of place, what with the weather recently.

Heatwave

The sun, it seems, is angry
at us all; and like children,
we turn away our faces,

try to appear repentant –
protest that we know nothing
of how the world got broken.

The poet Kim Moore talks about Virgina Wolf’s concepts of “moments of being” which can stay with you and spark a poem years later. I remember the praying mantis from a trip in the Australian outback almost 20y ago for #poemsabout #burnitdown thanks @alanparry83.bsky.social for the prompt

Once I saw a bushfire
Hot air thick with fleeing insects
A praying mantis
Long limbed, triangular face.
I looked into his bulging eyes.
Fire can jump a surprising distance,
Fizzing and popping.
I am afraid of cold air, of water,
Of lack of fuel.
But the embers are
Ruby red in the darkness
