Stovetop

the element glows,
red and pretty.
i want it.
but it's hot;
the electric glow burns.

but it's still pretty
and i still want it.
so i try again.
and this time it doesn't hurt.

but the coil is stuck.
i can't pull it out.

so i try again
but the heat's back.
and it burns.

but it's still pretty
and i still want it.
so i keep trying
to pull
it
out.

Note: this is incomplete, but I wanted to get it down before I went to sleep. Also not sure I'll get back to it, but I have plans for it.
