I set fire to the words
so that you could see the flame
I set fire to the words
and do you know my name?

(I’ll whisper it on the breeze
and the trees
will tell you all about it)

Author’s Note: Micropoetry is really short — and the almighty algorithm favours read time… so I’d appreciate it if you could hang around the page for a little while to let it know I don’t suck 🙏
