As to where it places its feet,

Awaits its instruction.

Words
Red hot coals smolder
Words, volatile propallents
ignite passions.
Molten rivers of hot blood
course through distended veins.
Desires engorged, burst into a
thousand solar flares that cool
in the aftermath of
manipulated satisfaction
nourished by words.
