Shadorma for Writer's Cramp - topic: Fire
From nothing,
a human conjures
combustion
chemically
like a rabbit from a hat
which once was empty

suddenly
space is occupied
by heat and
by flame and
by something ambiguous
maybe magical

sleight of hand
a coin from thin air
tossed into
reaction
lifted into flickering
and reduced to ash.
