The Sparkler

Fences were for a point---

I think

I thought

and we had one once when we were children

before I set it on fire

because I liked to put things ablaze

and look at myself in the candlelight

That's when I was at my best

I was good at it too---

razing things

and taking all the charred pieces for my stash in the attic

which is where---

one day

They will remember all the ways I was half full
