|
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*
|
|
