You can’t replace fire with air;

Oxidation would corrode our connection.

We are fire: burning, ferocious, smouldering.

We are flames: glowing, licking, ignited.

We are burning.

All that’s solid (can’t just) melt into air.

We need the fire; it sustains us.

Ignite the heat again,

Fan the flames.

There’s still a spark

between us.

Sit down next to the fire

with me.
