Jo Bien Poet Verse

Match

random matches in a book
the cover closed when lighting
pulling across the striking surface
sulfur catching and igniting

smoke lifts from the once cool head
the flame burns hot and high
combustion from the chemicals
consuming all close by

breath softly extinguishes
after it's abated
intensity has burnt itself out
cooling once exhausted
