When the flame sputters its dying glory
smoke curls into the heavens.
How could a spark reignite,
set ablaze a desecrated wick–
some flames deserve smothering.
The old burn is a new trick,
peel back the scab, scar the scar.
If only the wax truly melted,
taking the puddle with it–
burn to consume, burn parasitic.
