Lignocaine wears off
Stiff, frigid fingers sheathed in
Woollen, cut-off gloves.

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.

A quiet piece that says a lot with very little. Beautifully restrained.
I feel like you could imagine hundreds of possible stories that led to the scene in this poem. Nice work!
Love the imagery of the cut-off gloves! 💖
Nicely done, Angie. I am surprised that so few people know about lignocaine. Doesn't anyone go to the dentist? 😁😁
I had to Google that L word hahaha. And yes, I'm too lazy to spell or pronounce it, lol. But I'm happy you taught me something new. Loved your poem!
Oof, the cold seeps right through the words.
I had to Google Lignocaine - learnt something new from your haiku. Great entry!
I hope you are ok. I heard there are gloves you push a button and it will keep your finger warm. Great Entry to the Challenge
