Literature Text

I hold the ember in the cup of my hands
the uselessly toiling fingers are- Kindling.


No longer able to beat out
rhythms on an unyielding earth-


I hear the crackle of the fire
consuming my bones.



Keep the children warm,
feed them my ashes.
I love writing. I never have forgotten it.
