ENVIRONMENTAL Poem: Vultures Burning, by Katlyn Morales

Run away from the vultures circling
Your broken memories for a morsel of sanity
Left are the remains of your logic
Bubbling up from reason
Your burning desires and ambition
Let it not grow into an inferno that consumes you whole

Rather this is the narcissist’s greatest feast
Left only asking how you dare let yourself crumble
Onto their feet, after fanning your flames
Self-destruction in the hollows of your mind
May a spark ignite the soul
That once occupied your no-longer-standing corpse
