quietly watch the candles burn
down to their wicks and waxen pools
too hot to touch
stinging heat spreads from fingertips
caped with liquid white
encasing, transformed to hard cold shells
drop from skin
outside smooth as glass, faultless.
inside holds the imprint of a life
as the flame struggles,
                                     flickers,
                                                  dies.
