damp pages
touched by rain-soaked hands
tell a different story
while the flame flickers
surprised by reflections
unsure
if it survived the storm
and lived to tell a tale
the key witness may fail
but the altered script
tells me
someone was here
to extinguish the flame
uncomfortable
with the light, it sheds
on revealing paragraphs

I love the mystery in this narrative. Really interesting poem, Reena!
