The soul dies first By Bill Pearse on September 20, 2018 • ( 15 ) At the end of it, the wick is either cut too short or it’s so long, it falls on its side and can’t stand up, won’t light. And so much wax left, in the shape of what remains. This body poured into a form—this wick, the soul that lights it.

Must admit I’m feeling a bit like a limp wick lately. Which is a shame since I do have a rockin’ lighter.
