She tells me my hands are warm.
In that moment
I feel the raging fire
once used
to burn my ancestors.

And that makes me wonder
Why haven't I burned anything down
except myself?
I have a friend who always tells me how my hands are warm. I then remember how many people in my family were once burned for being "witches"
