Marshmallow

Who comes to claim this body, 
worn and tired,
bumps and swelling limbs, aching joints ?
But stillness dances inside
fresh as a child
nameless
ageless,
not concerned
that this marshmallow on a stick
Is headed for the fire.
A fire that blazes
hotter and brighter
than any marshmallow
ever could.
