I open my eyes
Smell the smoke
Where am I?
How did I get here?

These matches
Lie at my feet
And a flame
Bites at my hand

I don’t understand
Why I am here
How this happened

Why
Do my clothes
Smell like smoke?
Why
Are my fingers
Singed?

Ahead in the distance
I squint at the flames
Did I do this?
How could i have?
