She lived in a cooking pot
with warm water
calm and comfortable
day after day the same temperature
silent stagnancy.
Suddenly she saw this other pot
right next to hers
boiling water
bubbles bursting in the air
steam obnubilating the kitchen
mysterious mist spreading.
How wonderful!
How pretty!
How teasing!
How magical!
She couldn't help and jumped
from comfy warmth
into burning heat.
The bubbles and the steam
the boiling water and the mist
swallowed her as if she were made of salt.
The heat was too hot.
She dissolved in seconds.
Looking up, watching the mysterious mist
and the boiling bubbles burst,
she became nothing.
