Spreading Fire spread fire through my entire body.
Slowly and methodically burning my body,
while urging me to feed the flames with my own breath.
Leaving me as a pile of ashes from which a new self rose,
stomping around in the ashes, eventually forming
them into a question mark. The fire symbolized the
curiosity I want to spread in others, but it ended up
burning my entire self. Do I risk doing that to others?
It’s not pleasant, but then again so is change rarely.
