Simmer

I simmer

I will simmer

I have simmered

I constantly have simmering sensations

I was burned 

and the wound was obvious

and was treated

and seemingly healed.

But the heat sent its energy

throughout my body.

Little delicate airpockets of combustion

waiting to get lit on.

My body is lukewarm,

but simmering,

awaiting but trying to avoid

that which will take it to a boil.

My starting point is never on off,

but always ready to heat up.

Meditation, love and friendships

act as cooling agents

and are welcome reliefs

from the body overheating

under the bright lights

or standing too close to the sun.
