+title: There is too much fire in me
+---
+
+<div class="verse">
+There is too much fire in me to be described by the soldering iron's tip.
+
+If I were to draw that across my flesh,
+   it would all spill out at once.
+I'd melt, eaten whole by flames,
+    and flow into a pool of molten silver.
+I would be borne up through the clouds,
+    and grow lighter by the second.
+Sublimation would claim me then,
+    atoms would scatter, diffuse.
+All that energy poured to the air around me,
+    an imperceptible increase in temperature.
+Particle would excite particle
+    until I'm felt only as warmth on your face.
+
+But even that would not be enough.
