More specifically about the flame; the way that they will try to wield YOUR flame?Entitled to YOUR element?Do you know how to snuff yourself out while simultaneously keeping your flame lit within?Do you know how to flourish underground, love?Do you know how to millimeter inch your roots deeper with only the sense of a downward trajectory?Do you know how to erase at least one of your senses to survive your surroundings, love?Of course you doYou are a daughterLearn how to keep your flame in the dark In all spacesIn all placesAbove and underIf you don't know howStart with this factIt's their privilege to see your flamesWriting #313 "SNUFF" (Daughter Ode)
