Kill em' with Candles
.
.
I watched her try to light a candle 
That'd been centered upon the coffee table -  
Fishing, almost, casting blindly 
For the tail-end of a wick.
.
I watched her strike the match 
Across a strip of red phosphorous
And then sightlessly guide 
The glowing flash of light 
.
Towards the candle's twisted tip. 
.
.
Blind, though she was,
Old, so she'd been, 
I swore, she'd nearly
       found it.
