ignite me and I will dance,
yearning for your propane, before I
flicker in favor – your catalyst,
I recoil from your heavy hand,
forged in your grip, for I am the
inferno, I covet your flick – my
companion in misdeed, to burn
and wither away the devil in between
your lips, plead to void me free
from this thrill and I will glint in recital,
set aside my vices, for you are raveled –
my pine for destruction from your thumb
on the silver spark wheel that is my spine,
in this detriment, kindle the
fuel with lament, once the ashes
fade.

This poem is the final product of attempting to write a persona piece, where I embodied an inanimate object. The process was extremely entertaining and insightful.
