Smolder
someproseandapoem.substack.com
Slow down
Stop burning
The candle at both ends/
Pause/
Stop burnout
In its tracks/
Yield/
To the ebb of living/
Notice the edges
Arriving – at the locus
Of the exhale/
There is a small ember
In the middle
In the center
At the heart/
That smolders with dim
Weightless
Balanced
Even heat/
That smolders just like
The other stars
