Jake's Flea Market

it never comes out the way it went in

when the story in the book

when the story in the book
before the first verse in genesis 
is staged in your room and you are blind

strike flint on steel
spurt sparks into your charcloth   saturate
the rag with fireglow

the candle wick dipped
in embers    the creation of candlelight
