BAND OF THE DAY: zap mama

another poem
FIRE

The last thing I remember before
I surrendered into the flames
Was a woman’s scream
A lost child’s cry
Somewhere on the second floor
Shouting voices
Commanding.

IM IN HERE
I wanted to say.
To scream.

To even breathe.
But no
As the embers cool around my body
Nobody asked
Nobody wondered why

Me, stuck on the third floor didn’t try to escape……..
