THE BOY WHO LOVED FIRE


 

a thousand questions.
first, do you ever look down at your hands and wonder to whom they belong to? Do you look in the mirror and see a body instead of yourself as a person? Do the voices in your head get so loud sometimes you begin to shake? have you ever stared at your human body and felt trapped in a house you never called your own? I see through your soul. there is gasoline in your veins. Your fingers are made of matches. There is art on your tongue and need in your eyes.
