I am the rod April 1, 2015

 

Mine is not the rod that Moses bore, more the twisted stick, a slithering serpent seeking the burning bush, the unconsumed fire that draws me towards you, but in the dark of night, a candle stick with wax that drips, never expired, tapered to the tip, slipping between your fingers as you hold it, a light in the night I ache fore, that keeps my eyes open even when weariness wears me away. I am the rod, the snake, the candle stick. I am the wax the drips down into you, filling you up. I am the drips that paint your lips, the ooze you lick, the never ending fire inside.
