little vase by the window-

but the thoughts that
sparkle in my eyes
are louder than the chaos
of matchsticks and
gasoline.

    I'm really not sure why this resonates with me so well, I mean I know but it was still surprising, and I think that is one of the reasons I'm so drawn to the piece today. The matchsticks part feels a little overdone and yet you managed to give it a new take, so that was great to see. For being a short piece, you really struck a cord - great job. It takes a lot of skill to pack this much of a punch so quickly, and I think that is why I am so glad this has been nominated.
