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
