no one's ever been lucky enough to catch                             a
falling                                           star;
it would be dangerous to captures flames
in ur hands; how then did man discover
fire                              did Prometheus
bring it down & show men                                               how to use it
or did women invent it to cook &                                 see in the dark  
               is the Holy Ghost a heavenly fire
descending                            a funeral pyre
is a ritual burning so fire had to be readily available; in some parts
of the world it runs
in rivers to the                                               sea

it rains from the sky & occurs w/ the friction                                      of

igneous rock

light & heat                                       useful as a weapon & for making weapons            
now we have a world where magnets can replace fire by creating
invisible friction:                               who uses fire; cave men still
digging out the dark matter from the earth
burning it so it become airborne
dark matter, pollution & soot:
it has me thinking maybe
                                                the dark matter in space
is the left over pollution of a previously destroyed     intergalactic
