the wick crackles as the flame dances into oblivion
transforming itself over and over again
the embers torch the pool of wax
dripping down the glass enclosure
round and round we go
chasing the flame
entranced by its explosion
shaped like a woman seducing the darkness

This post is in response to the #dailyfreewritechallenge posted by @mariannewest & @improv. Today's (Day 98) prompt is "round is a shape". This was a difficult #freewrite so I strayed a bit from the prompt but there are still elements inside of this piece! If you're curious about the #dailyfreewritechallenge, check out the introduction post here.
