Five Senses
June 7, 2014
Five Senses.
Hearing, is for listening to your heart beat.
Touch, is for the fire that burns under your feet.
Sight, is to watch the fire burn.
Scent, is for breathing in the acrid smoke.
Taste, is to taste the blood on your tongue.
When one sense leaves,
As do the others.
Until you cannot hear your heart beat.
Five
And you can’t feel the fire engulfing your body.
Four
You can’t see the roaring flames burning the house.
Three
You can’t smell the smoke that’s filled your nostrils.
Two
Until you can’t taste the blood in your mouth.
One.
