Inflamed bursts are not coincidental.

Like a slow driver slowing your hurry —
they’re BORN to drive slow…

A chatty charlatan influencing your desires —
they MUST have your best interest in mind…

An apologetic parent dying —
SUDDENLY giving a lucid sincerity of age-old topics…

Breath (present tense), Breath (past tense) -
scream a sigh.

Solo massacres have erupted
from the inflamed.

One may unknowingly be adding flames
to the inflamed.

Fan the flames of the inflamed
at the peril of all.
