Staring at the topaz surface
The shriveled, wilted, charred strand poking out
Curled on the surface, alone
A gentle hiss, a melodious click
And a warm embrace surrounds it
Bringing to life the little string
Azure and crimson dance in the wind
The topaz surface begins to recede
Replaced by a marvelous ooze
Ooze that reflects the nimble colors
And in a puff, it’s all extinguished
Charcoal and ash wrap up from the center
Snaking up between us
You smile, laughing at how I look at you
And I get up and chase after you
All over a little candle
