Cotton braided wicks

would never know,

where they will be

lit to drive darkness...

 

Few who care,

polish the lamp

refill the oil

trigger the wicks

to savor the light.

 

Rest who don't,

never realize

the plight of

burnt wicks.

 

Wicks,

cherished or

left to perish,

exist just

for the sake of 

burning...
