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 |
