Ignition

You sat inside me
rolled up
like a blunt
waiting to be lit
fire is after all a type of ignition
I have a match in my pocket
let's go

Thank you
I read this as a kind of internal conflict, or other self which usually lies dormant until the right spark brings that personality to the fore.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't conceived if it that way, but it certainly works that way--thank you Kerry!

DeleteHm. The waiting must be the conflict. If this is a conservative type, she'll wait for the right switch!
ReplyDeleteNot the conservative type I am afraid--
