Fool

Fool
How else do you learn about desire,
except to choose and choose again?
Follow the blazing fire
igniting the depths of murky waters
Even if it burns, singes, stings and fizzles out,
at least then you will know
Curiosity will not erode your skin,
the sound of what ifs won't flutter and flux inside your lungs
Raging to escape,
coloring all your words and deeds with hunger

Fall into the flames, over and over and over
Let them call you crazy
Let them yell from their cold and quiet corners
Let them laugh and jeer, and shake their heavy heads
In the reflecting waters
only jagged teeth and hesitation will shine back upon them

Choose the flames, choose the fire
Until it consumes you whole,
until it no longer burns,
until you no longer want its warmth at all
Only then will it truly be over
