burning

in the dream
her hands were burning
she saw them burning
but felt no pain

in the dream
it was night
a man on a motor cycle
rode up a ramp
and burst through a circle of fire

in the dream
there was a crowd
but no one came near her
she could not touch them
she never knew if she might heal them
or if
on contact
the pain would begin
and she would consume them
with her passionate hands
