Linda Stevenson #34 September 3 Match Factory



Match Factory

Heartbreak and the daily grind
drag out from me the better essence

like smoke from a match factory’s chimney.

That factory is obsolete
yet fires light up
unfanned
unstruck
spontaneous.

    beautiful, Linda - "smoke from a match factory’s chimney" is the clincher line alright.

    match as in 'matching' (making metaphors)?
