nopowrimo numbers 7: Nicknames and 8: Former Flame

Nicknames

He calls me ClairitinClear
in the commercial voice
I call him Joshypants
as limping revenge


Old Flame

Old flame, I wish you would 
burn yourself out
your tiresome reflection in the glass

has become
a too-bright star caught in the corner of my eye
I am ready to press still sulphured matches

to cold wicks
but my breath will not end your
refraction
