reignition

a burning match in the dark, title picture for the poem "reignition" by Rebekka Wölky Ein brennendes Streichholz im Dunkeln, Titelbild für das Gedicht "reignition" von Rebekka Wölky

I hate you, you know.

I‘ll hate you forever. 

Because instead of kindling my fire, 

you dimmed my light.

You let the flames go out,

suffocated them under a bell jar.

And then for years,

there was no wood to burn, 

no spark to enlight

my fire.

I got it back, eventually, 

brighter than before. 

I‘m burning, shining, blooming. 

And you

are definitely 

not.
