lit

This one's about wanting to be lit.

i want to be aglow

shine in your darkness

lit up, burning

 

lit up for the world

lit up for you

     lit

up,  i

 

want

the lick of flame

to dance

along the ridges

of my still-beating

heart, i

 

want this fire

to swallow me,

consume me

 

and i

want to be

      lit. i,

i,

i

want to be

lit up, bathed in

wholeness.
