Two Ways to Make Fire

I strike my tongue on silence. It rubs statistics until warm.

I choose a wound to speak from. It chooses the median mouth.

I forget on purpose. It remembers by averaging.

I break a rule to cross water. It paves a bridge of patterns.

My verbs carry salt and sleep. Its verbs carry distances.

I risk a life. It risks a likelihood.

Both light the page. One burns a night of me. One glows from the grid.

The difference is ashes.
