Having lit the match,
Wind crawls up my fast wick back.
Liquid butter burns.

This poem was born of some words a new friend said recently on a windy day: “the wind crawls up your back if you let it.” And somehow, in thinking about it, my back became a wick, and then there was fire, and then the burning up.
love how, fast wick back, rolls from the tongue. also love its imagery.
