three candles out of eleven

burn brightly enough 

to illuminate the entire space 

a couple people out of 8 billion

strike harshly enough 

to change who i am entirely  


a small part of me wishes you had less control over who i was

who i am

but who else would grasp my fate? 

the fate set out already 

that fate included you

your malignant touch before all else


my candle burns

their fates unwind 

a beautifully bright light teaches us what to do next

the infinite darkness surrounding us reminds us we have no choice

the wax will melt

our futures willcome to an end
