The Institution

the dust settles beneath the flames
billowing from the clutter
of the iron structures.

an industrial cage
the bars penetrating the sky
as the coals scream
dying, the history agonizes
and hisses into submission.

the smoke cluttering my lungs
as I stand there
watching it burn,
its violent end
reflecting in my eyes.
