The wheel burns like a skillet

The wheel burns like a skillet

left too long on the stove.


My hand presses, pulls back

quick—red bloom on skin,

sharp as regret.


Sun drips off black plastic,

a silent warning.


A small pain that tastes

like a warning, or a dare,

waiting for me to try again.
