“Fire burns blue and hot.
Its fair light blinds me not.
Smell of smoke is satisfying, tastes nourishing to my tongue.
I think fire ageless, never old, and yet no longer young.
Morning coals are cool: daylight leaves me blind.
I love the fire most because of what it leaves behind.”
― Penny Reid, Beauty and the Mustache

“I might never have the courage to say the words out loud, I might lose them altogether, they might stick in my throat and choke me in my sleep.”
