The dance

Posted bydiestlPosted inUncategorized

The powerful flicker

of a candle’s flame

a dance

or avoidance.

Illuminating  

untouchable

unable

to retract its smoldering. 

Remnant 

enveloping

from the liquid stickiness 

sinking into the sky

revealing its anchor 

near its end

before the moment 

that last flash of smoke 

intertwines

nevertheless 

without a trace.
