Arsonist

he always brought
a box of matches
when exploring

each dark corner
each remote cubby
a spot

where he
could
strike a match

ignite a tiny flame
leave it
smoldering

unnoticed for a while
then burning brightly
spreading

lighting other
dark corners
hidden cubby holes

to discover
during his next excursion
into her mind
