sometimes we burn the fire
sometimes it burns us

my first-ever poet friend (and the person who inspired me to start writing) sat around a campfire with me the first week i knew her, and recited a short poem she wrote about fire to me. it described fire's necessary benefits and unfortunate destruction, and ended with:

"we never learn. we never learn."

i wish i remembered the whole thing.

i think we were fourteen.
