Candlefire
This night was trying hard for Spring---
and we've known colder,
but tonight I was longing for candlefire
to take the chill from my soul.
I was hungry for soft runny wax
to take the shape of my hand,
I longed for skin warmer than my own to touch,
and lips to heat mine slowly
as I basked in the small warmth
of one tiny light in the night.
I need candlefire---
Have you some to spare?
