<p>A poem by Hayley Franklin on the obsession with fire.</p>

Hold me in your hand
naked, glowing
going out
just trying to exist
at the tip
of the matchstick
waltzing
so as not to fall
or burn out.
Enjoy my warmth
my pretty hysteria
near crying embers
for fear of
dying out
hold me closer
between your fingers
for just a minute
or two, then
blow me out
