Under the dusty floorboards of my soul
there’s a spark.
Black smoke pours out like liquid asphalt
until the wood is gone.
White heat rises into the shimmering sky.
No smoke, no ash, no cinders fall from
the brilliant blue flames.
What’s burning now?

That opening line, what a grabber.
Congrats on your collection being published.
The final line really drives it home! Nice one.
