+A spark
+
+*a million volts*
+
+*for a split second*
+
+If the spark lands just right
+
+*it kindles a tiny flame*
+
+Hot but flickering
+
+Should you gentle cradle this flame
+
+*unafraid of being burned*
+
+It will resist when it would be doused
+
+If you feed this flame
+
+*it will grow explosively into a fire*
+
+A conflagration that consumes and ignites
+
+Should you survive the fire as it dies
+
+*you will be left with smouldering embers*
+
+Quieter and less ostentatious than the heartbeat spark, the jittering flame, the rumbling fire
+
+Discreetly white hot
+
+*a star core pouring lightness into the world*
+
