Ember
Back to the Labyrinth
An ember gathers together
each cinder from this wind
of change stings the skin
through its hot caress
the frenzy of the searing
fear will yoke the spread
engineer the fire
to keep the scalding small
or slower to take hold
To fall into the flame
may burn from red to white
scars to steal the sight
seal the wounds to temper
blazes to a simmer
yet hunger for the glow
the amber in between
basking in the gleam
crave the inferno
through the smokescreen
breathe in the steam
