The bank statements curl in the pit out back,
turning from white into carbon and black.
A credit card offer from three years ago
flaps like a skeletal wing in the glow.
I sit on the bricks with a slice of cold pie,
watching the interest rates blacken and die.
The grease on my palms catches light from the spark,
a smudge of the living left out in the dark.
