The Fire Vashti Bunyan (Ft. Rodge Glass)

I've been reading that
What matters most is how well
You walk through the fire

But I didn't know
I was on fire
Until the flames engulfed me

If I'd have known
I would have run
Fires are too hot
Unpredictable

They draw too much
Attention
Better small, secret ones
Than the other kind

I've been reading that
What matters most is how well
You walk through the fire

But I didn't know
I was on fire
Until the flames engulfed me
