    Inspired by the song "Walking on Fire" by Evolution

    Walking on Fire

    I can feel the drugs

    Kicking into me

    Only a small window of hope

    Before I lose who I am

    A small flicker of light in your eyes

    Echoing onto something you can’t see

    A spiral of ripples

    A transformation

    Time is slowing

    May soon be over

    Slowly melting over me

    The wax of the burning candle

    Dripping into the forming ripples

    A warm liquid washing over me

    Making me solid

    Holding me still

    Unable to push away

    Under the tap of their feet

    An echo above me

    Forming into a word

    Over my very being

    Contemplating though

    Maybe

    I am not whole.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
