Like the Great Fires

Tinder me well
Ready to burn
But I want
Conflagration
Like the Great Fires
Let me burn London
Leaping
Hovel to hut
To the gates
Melt iron
Cavort
To palace door
Selling histories

Buy or burn?
Marie Kondo
Let flames free –
Tax havens?
Don’t bring joy!
Worker exploitation?
Don’t bring joy!
Colonial hangover?
Don’t bring joy!

Let them go
Together burn
Till we see ancient path
Wood
To stone
To belong
