keep the fire at arm’s length.
this ear is a snail that keeps
spiraling. too deep. too much
pressure.
martyrdom is a window back
to the living. where skin burns
like ants under a magnifying glass.
expect blisters. a lake forms
in your palm, a red balloon
inflates just above the small
of your back.
so much blood can
put out a fire.
