Little Match Girl

Missing image

The matches are too soggy in my brain
and I can’t strike up a conversation
so let me dry here by the fire
while the kindling burns
down into coals
of warm-blooded words

Author notes

Letter One & Two (though most of the others would do as well)

    yep.
    this spirals out and down and ends abruptly but not unpleasantly. I like the brevity where at other times I would have whined that it was just too short. There doesnt seem to be anything left to say after you're finished. A poet worht the read should know when enough is enough.
    this is enough
    love,
