rooftop
raze it takes a strong flashlight
to track them down
three silver cups
filled with paraffin.
i light them with a flame
driven by butane.
only one has a wick
that's worth a damn.
the other two
have nothing to give
but leaves that turn to ash.
the sun will rise soon enough,
and i'll gorge myself
on breakfast before bed
like i did when night
was all i knew.
