Curiosity

He doesn't start as a flicker in the darkness
Or a single, tender seedling, poking through the soil
He is (and always will be) a bonfire, raging
A mass of rough vines, choking
A salty tsunami, drowning and crushing
Burning. 
And he will always be unsatisfied
The only part that frightens me
Is the fact that I am not frightened
To be the cat is not the worst fate.
