Her Fascination

She stares at the flame with brilliant eyes listening with fascination reveling in the fire’s song watching the orange spear touch her skin She feels no pain, just blessed release as this new burn takes its place among the multitude of ulcers running down her arms Her fascination drives her actions, causing her to perform her sacred ritual keeping her in her world of fantasy protected from the reality of life She lights another match and looks upon it as a lover bending to kiss its orange tongue she sighs with ecstasy as it sears her lips
