A fire, doesn’t burn unless you are there to feel the flames. Or to choke on the ashes; unless you sputter on the fumes of your inaction, smoldering, pouring, slowly, blackly,and so far, within your throat, or stinging your open eyes! Gasp. Aghast! Every day you open your eyes is a miracle to me, something so bright I can’t even describe in retrospect or with made up words, or with fancifully placed punctuation; how could it be that you could be sad when you’re you? Does the brightness of yourself blind you to yourself, do I not in my words relate the beauty of you to you, of feeling your words, of being in the same century as you, as being on the same planet as you, as trying to write your name without saying it, as fancifully placed punctuation? As being and not being, the smoke to your embers]
