Fire

A fire.

It is within me.

I want to let it burn bright. 

I want to be seen in it.


I want to share it. 

I want to pass it on

Because this heat, on its own

Would be too much.


Because this heat, in my hands

Do not feel like warmth.

If I could create after I destroy

I can do right by it. 

I want to do right.


To do right by this gift.

This gift of fire.

That is within me.

My fire.
