Something Burns

Jose Zuniga
Ah, sister, what is that?
It wakes me, while I hold my hat
I thank you for welcoming my visit
But that rattling what is it, what is it?

Something walks along the walls
stalking me in your house,
I've known so for so long,
Quiet as a mouse

I've ignored it
It hasn't bothered me
Who's that upstairs?
What's happening?

I know her now.

She tripped on me
Candles in her cake spilled on me
Love's clashes utter words so worn
Yet original in saying: "Oooh, something burns,
Something burns!"
