matches

you are freefall among the pine needles 

motes of dust and sunset pepper your face 

we had found a box of matches  

burnt every one within five minutes 

gambled away our fingertips 

on who could last the longest 

if i could weigh this memory now 

it would be wolves and yearning 

a liquid mess seething through the forest 

some jawline ruining my welcoming throat 

a faint hum of confusion

This reads like a piece of your past here Stu. Not sure whether it is but it sounds very much like the sort of thing young lads would get up to during times of experimentation.
Nice one my friend
