Tinder

*Dedicated to Simon Bromley*

Tinder

Candlelit, molten churn
Upon it, one must learn
Ne’er engage igneous fire
Ignited flesh mars transpire

Rapt misguided trance
Entangled fury dance
Kindles tempest chicane
Allure belies mortal pain

Foolish query touch
Tinders imbue smutch
Wax shies from heat
Forging hasty retreat

Amber tis licit spark
Alight beyond pitch dark
Tattooed on vulnerable skin
Havoc simmers chagrin
