words hung out like
twigs in autumn
fall and random line
like
matches at the barbeque
last summer
spilt across
the patio
found wedged
months later
in a wound
between the flagstones
still turn up
occasionally
words like those matches
that can burn
twice if you remember
the children's joke
that can strike
at any time
incendiary
not
like
twigs
in
autumn
not really
but it was hot
last night
