two pieces of flint threw themselves without restraint into
each others dark chalky side
chafing across the surface identical to their own
they�d grown up with the fireplace in the mornings and late nights
watching the pile with an accustomed eye
and each knew there was a part of making the translucent heat they
were made for
they were capable of
more than just the moving
more than living close to an attractive warmth-making match
but burning and whispering secrets more precious than this was the fire
ready for the two of them to know how hot and holy it grew
