I am fire
Wild and unforgiving
Soothing yet destructive
My lips? They cannot be sealed
I cannot be contained
I started out as a match
Insignificant, quiet
But now I am a raging inferno
Forced against a sweltering stone;
Bubbling, blistering, all alone,
Heat cauterizing liquid bone.
Exhales trapped breath and withers in;
Buttery smell soon to begin,
stacked atop its bretheren.
