Do you remember?
by Elizabeth Challinor
Catch!
Suddenly
A ball of fire
Ignites in your trembling hands
You look down
In tender disbelief
Molten memories
Swirling in your palms
Leaking through fingers
Dripping on feet
Your body is about to go up in flames
Time dissolves into tears
Lava and water meet
The cells of your body smile gracefully at each other
Past and present make peace
