From the Outside Looking In
Fire vehemently blew up within the gaslight before the lantern door closed.
Angrily reacting to the match sending a jab into the propane vape.
The flame bobbed & weaved, struggling to be freed from the wick, needing to escape.
Throwing itself side to side, as a catfish does when it falls victim to predatory fishing line hooks.
Stuck in a cage, maybe the flame’s a ghost of an unlabeled place.
Growing brighter, doing it’s job, giving light, adulting while it’s rage is overlooked.
There’s bias against the flame,
its dangerous like pulling the trigger to send bullets ablaze.
Despite, the beautiful way that flame illuminates the dark web of imperfections on the glass panes.
