Souls Tossed Lightly Aside
The souls I tossed so lightly aside after hungers were satisfied
now dance on the forest floor against the upward pull of hot winds.
The fires of our shared sins rush in to erase our transgressions.
Those I should have loved more deeply now dance with the purifying flames.
There, the crackling sounds of flames!
My nostrils sting with the smoke of burning beauty turning to ash before me.
The weakened voices that once spoke clearly of desires now cry out for mercy,
but there is no forgiveness.

Author's Note
In a dream, I watched past lovers being punished and felt the weight of my regret. It was a strange dream.
