Write a poem or short story that contains this line.

I Know How Fires Start

Red and burning, green and fucking glowing

As I looked into your eyes, I saw my future go up in flames


You were soaked in gasoline and I held the match.

Perhaps I thought you had just come inside from the rain.


I only wanted to warm you, but instead you caught fire.


I sit covered in your embers. At least you’re all over me.
