candle wax

the first line blew me away and i was hooked immediately! and putting out the candles to read each line felt unexpectedly cathartic, loved it

thanks a lot for sharing! i agree putting out a candle before each line is really effective

the way you have to put out the candle before each burning line gives me that feeling of back-and-forth internal tension. cathartic and beautiful and painful all at once

Very powerful--thank you.
