clamour push and deny the rust stain
left as spots on nylon thin throws

no light is un-greyed in passing
to fail ignition . somewhere
sinoatrial spark kicks the pump
over
again
again
again

until even that like waxed diesel
instead of vital fuel will impel
only a

thud

and then wooden and thin as a
peg. round headed and spindles
you are boxed for
the
Fire
