Synopsis
on the front porch striking matchsticks with our thumbs
the quick report of light doused out with our tongues,
it's the trick that speaks volumes: forget phosphorus, friction
the miracle of combustion, it is how you hold fire
in your mouth then snuff it out like idle conversation--
-from "Miraculous Hours"
