Basement Dreamscape

All around you nests worldly treasures, archives of
mysticism and impossibility, more a freakshow of
trapped desires and dreams
floating into existence with sheer wizardly will
you are nothing more now than a bottled wonder
exhibit to be shown, gazed upon. No longer
real to the outside world. You once dreamed of
Burning
and becoming magnificent with your flames
perhaps you are a witch yearning for the stake
to feel the burn across slick skin instead of
consuming all inside.
crackling and sparking, popping heat & bones
hair furling flames, hissing medusa snakes
eyes are stone, blue ice condemns foes
you splinter into shards of red-hot glass
a creature caged
cannot be kept. you will be Free. You will.
