Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Incandescent

We Incans weren't allowed to go

Up to Machu Picchu at night.

But I was curious, and so

Walked up the mountain with no light.

Once I got to the sacred place,

I lit a torch to look around,

But didn't stay long, cuz I'd face

Death, so back home I soon be bound.

First, I tried to put the torch out,

To not be seen, but then set me

On fire, waving the torch about,

Then fanned the flames when I did flee.

A human fiery torch, I went,

As I made my Incandescent.
