Someone

She lit a candle
Brighter than the sun
The candle was the heart;
At the heart of someone.
She held it to the curtain
And fire grew around
in rages and swirls;
in burns they found.
Why did she stay?
I do not know.
How did she bare its
surrounding glow?
For a minute
she breathed,
breathed in the sun.
And only then,
she knew what she'd done.
