He Is Burning

He is burning
his dresser in his backyard.

Smashing it to pieces,
he tosses them in.

Flames leap skyward.
Smoke envelops the man.

Where will he keep
his extra large clothes,
I wonder.

Just then he attacks
the remains of the dresser.

Like a maniac
he swings something wildly.

I cannot see weapon for smoke.
He has gone mad.

There are cracks, thuds,
and the splitting of wood

illustrates his anger.
Then it is quiet, except

for crackling fire
and the shuffle of my feet

as I quietly back away.
