Do you have a light?

A match unlit

burning with potential

biding time

waiting...

Always present

out of sight

carried forth

inner pockets

cradling

seeds

shielded from expansion

stuck

waiting...

waiting...

passed from hand to tempting hand

brief words on a dark night

hot flashes unplanned

Burned

abandoned after use

tossed out-of-sight

Do you have a light?
