Work Text:
this
candle
glows
dimly.
it
weakens,
it warps the
letters on the
yellow pages,
but it will
guide me
through
nightly
prayers
and my
beloved
scripts
until my
sibling
opens the door
searching for guidance.
quietly, i will be a spark of hope for her,
a gentle word, a square of light
in a dark cell.
