several times a day i light them
—small flames that tend to me.
i am only here to walk about my life
with cheap candles and choice
spilling from my fists:
here i shall strike a match.
here, in this moment, i shall make it all count for light.
— Still, i have to choose it.

the light is low and i have been lighting small candles all around the house. perhaps you have too?
this is what we do.
this is what we came here for. let this guide you.
let this show you the way through.
and the way through, is the way out.
