ELEGY Poem: even fire can’t stop my love, by Shania Allen

in memory of my grandmother and my great grandmother’s house

even fire can’t stop my love
for you.
burn my mother’s house down but
ill still be around–
for my family.
my love is greater than any natural disaster
my aura lingers on this earth
for eternity.

even fire can’t stop my love
for you.
burn who i was
that don’t matter anymore–
the picture remains unphased
my love overpowers the devils work
my face is instilled in dreams
for eternity.

even fire can’t stop my love
for you.
