The Flames of Our Youth

Fiery young poetry

Sizzles like a flaming dish

Brought quickly to the table.

It is only after flames collapse

In a lingering glow—

A dark haunting of fire—

That we accept a portion,

Let it cool slightly on our plates,

Savor the aroma’s ascent,

Take its warm body into our own.
