TO LIGHT?

	If your body were a match
	would you choose to ignite
	or remain in a box
	covered from sight?

	If we become fearful
	of opportunities
	are we not like dry sticks
	& symbols of obscurity?

	Only by risking
	can we achieve
	moments of existing
	beyond the dry wood of our being –
	« Soyez vivant tout en brûlant ! »
