SETTING FIRE TO THE FLAMES
SETTING FIRE TO THE FLAMES
In the candle flame
she sees everything
that cannot be...
...yet needs to be
- spoken.
Music touches her mind
kindly asking if it can help?
The blank page
is amazed
at what it finds
written upon itself.
The music ceases.
The candle is blown out.
Words exist
that long for a mouth
...to speak them.
In the sleeping lady's mind
the candle still
burns
dreaming its own reality.
