Spit Fire

I strike a match

And you're alive.

Sulfur to light.

Your name the air

I begin to speak.

We're two flames

Learning each other's spark

Before learning the space

Between distance.

I've never held a matchstick

Until it's almost devoured

The entire stick.

To feel it shiver before it burns

Tossed out of my hand.

I carry your heat

Your well being

Across the fire of my heart.

Some nights my chest glows

Beneath a window of skin.

Through my throat

Smoke escapes.

And I trace your outline

In the dark.

From what you give

I've learned to carry other pieces

Of you.

Unstuck. Still dreaming.

I swallowed my own flame

With nowhere else to go.

Trying to stay lit

Without the cupped hands of your name

To keep it warm.

I swallowed my own flame

After snapping so many pieces of you.

Trying to keep you alive

Inside of me.

Learning that with distance comes

Wind.

I've been told that souls

Don't separate.

But they've never held a matchstick

Long enough to feel it quiver

Always aware.

Always reaching.

Meanwhile

Inside of me,

My shadow dances at the tip

Of the stick,

Learning how to spit fire.

“To make the right choices in life, you have to get in touch with your soul. To do this, you need to experience solitude, which most people are afraid of, because in the silence you hear the truth and know the solutions.”

Just learned about garden path sentences.

They’re basically a literary prank– the sentence starts out in such a way that you think you know where it’s going, but the way it ends completely changes the meaning while still being a complete and logical sentence. Usually it deals with double meanings, or with words that can be multiple parts of speech, like nouns and verbs or nouns and adjectives.

So we get gems like

The old man the boat. (The old people are manning the boat)

The complex houses married and single soldiers and their families. (The apartment complex is home to both married and single soldiers, plus their families)

The prime number few. (People who are excellent are few in number.)

The cotton clothing is usually made of grows in Mississipi. (The cotton that clothing is made of)

The man who hunts ducks out on weekends. (As in he ducks out of his responsibilities)

We painted the wall with cracks. (The cracked wall is the one that was pained.)
