FIRE FOR A MOMENT

Can we speak of fire for a moment? 

Can we speak freely of fire? 

It's been shooting out my eyeballs. 

I've been sneezing out balls of steam. 

I watch people live so gently. Kindly. Openly. 

But in me this thing blazes.

It does have kindness in it. 

Gentleness too... 

But through the prism of heat.

Too much strong. 

I plan to let go soon.
