i dip the fresh,
fluttering feather into
the uncapped bottle
of ink,
black and blue.
letters become
words become
sentences become
true emotion.
from a small fraction
of another being's
dna comes a verselet.
my fingers,
ten in total,
five on each hand,
they tremble.
a tear drips down my
steamed cheek.
i light my match up.
strike.
the paper is singed,
ashes blanketing the table.
my verselet
is no longer
existent.
