Grey, black confetti

Burnt the words last night
burnt the pages
one by one, fire
flames, red
orange bright
licked the air
scattered embers
flew threw the night
history
another page
never to be repeated
never to be forgot
burnt
ash
scattered to the ground
bland grey, black confetti
stood on
trodden on
down in the ground
no more words
no more books
forgotten in time
in a burst of flames
