Burning palms



Thursday, May 21, 2015


My palms burn just from the thought of it
As if I have pressed both hands against a stove
Never learning from experience
About how hot things get when I press too hard
This growling volcano inside of me
Needing only an ounce of friction to explode
The rumbling of it rocking inside me
Waiting for the moment when I will erupt,
And then a never ending sequence of earthquakes
I am unable to control, nor want to,
Pressing my palms again and again
Against the scalding stove until I burn up
And still have not learned my lesson.
