candle flicks orange
selflessly spits
and pop: pale pips
when
juice trapped in petroleum
wax hits heat and fires to
make mists in light
a cotton thread
( points vapours )
stutter the
dark:
yellow
the lights lets me see
fractions of tar smell
sweetly pink in the
Valor heater.
pressed from thin metal
a bomb
damped by ribbon squab
(broad vapours)
starve the
cold:
red air
all weaves shrink as the
smoke, a fake evaporate,
journey's to the clouds
