I dreamed I called you on the telephone
to say: Be kinder to yourself
but you were sick and would not answer

The waste of my love goes on this way
trying to save you from yourself

I have always wondered about the left-over
energy, the way water goes rushing down a hill
long after the rains have stopped

or the fire you want to go to bed from
but cannot leave, burning-down but not burnt-down
the red coals more extreme, more curious
in their flashing and dying
than you wish they were
sitting long after( midnight )

( That ragged edge to her voice, the gleam in her eye. Cal found that he couldn’t look at it directly, and instead had to fix his gaze on a nick in Nina’s wall. )

The real magic of each jar is, of course, discovered in the darkest places like true magic should be and will not last forever. Each has an expiration of @8 hours.

Please let me know if one of your characters found one, where they did, which jar they claimed and how they felt about it.
