Wow. I really like this one. It's simple, but it says so much. I absolutely loved your phrase "liquid heat" in the second stanza.
My favorite part is how it changes from the world burning to your world burning - sometimes it can feel like the entire world is crumbling at your feet, and you don't know how others are going on, but you know you can't. And sometimes it's your own fault, or due to something you should've, or even didn't, do. But perhaps that may just be me.
Either way, I truly enjoyed this one. It's always lovely to read new poems of yours.

Awesome! I LOVED this! I don't know what else to say. I'm just amazed at the images and the poem structure and the way you place me into this world that I've never been in but feels so real. Great job -- Keep writing, k.

Wow. This is a very good poem. I really love the ending of it.

That was really good. I loved it actually.
