We have plenty of matches in our house.

We keep them on hand always.

Currently our favorite brand is Ohio Blue Tip,

though we used to prefer Diamond brand.

That was before we discovered Ohio Blue Tip matches.

They are excellently packaged, sturdy

little boxes with dark and light blue and white labels

with words lettered on the shape of a megaphone,

as if to say even louder to the world,

"Here is the most beautiful match in the world,

its one and a half inch soft pine stem capped

by a grainy dark purple head, so sober and furious

and stubbornly ready to burst into flame,

lighting, perhaps, the cigarette of the woman you love,

for the first time, and it was never really the same

after that. All this will we give you."

That is what you gave me, I

became the cigarette and you the match, or I

the match and you the cigarette, blazing

with kisses that smolder toward heaven
