The Burning Hand Festival

Have you ever heard the sound
Of your own flesh being scalded?
It doesn't sound that different
From wok chicken, or Sunday morning bacon
Hitting the pan.

You reach for something,
Feel that pain,
And pull your hand back.

After that,
All the cold water in the world,
Can't change the past.

After that,
You remember.
