Angst Kindling

Where has mean mouthed tinder and angst kindling gone? I tried to blow at the bark curls of my past. I whistled up ghost boys, who only looked sideways at me. I went gossip fishing for someone who didn’t deserve happiness. I cat called at deep hurts. I poured fuel to old injuries.  I even read my diaries but  real love has drenched my bitter poetry.  I used to draw in cigarette smoke  to heat the fever in me then exhale pain  in weighted lines of self discovery.  I didn’t guess the consequence  when I fell for his warm scent.
