Literature Text

she's on fire, every day of her life
forest fire, cabin fire
spiced-cacao, chili pepper
gingerbread; she's edible
two seats beside me; invisible
i so very lack the courage in these situations
only in the ones that require decisions
in the ones that count more than anything else

lick my fingers
press together
wick on candle
heat; fire

when i next blink
she flickers
smoke
fi-yah fi-yah fi-yahhh.

[set fi-yahh to the face on fi-yahh]

Wow, I really enjoyed that. I'm a writer and rarely do I find a poem so catching, this was very well written and the set-up but great.
