Smoke inhalation

Desire
is a fire
that goes out
when it's not stoked.


Man
started fire.


A fire
does require
your full attention once lit.
Flare-ups. Smoke signals. Errant sparks.


Women 
tend the fire.


Desire 
is combustible
unless retardant is applied.
Burned. Back-fired. Scorched.


A fire
Does indeed need both fuel and freedom and air.
As lightning steals its rightful thunder


We extinguish

Without an ignition point.
