A fire, slow and bright

Are you sure you want to do this?

To dive into a fire so hot,

The friction of your

swallowed sins and

borrowed regrets

will be so shallow an experience

that your hands will shake with fury

and some kind of pride not entirely your own.

I think that maybe you dont just take that which is offered

But

Maybe lift a spot of power

or pride

and hold it somewhere special.

or

Maybe you don’t.

Daughter of Cosmos,

Will you become stardust or ash?
