A candle is made of paraffin wax, made of petrol.
By heating in the absence of air the amorphous carbon is converted into polycrystalline graphite.
Light up again.
A candle is a spine that holds all our bodies.
Bend your arms, according to
the rules of art — deep — it is a moulding.
Light up again.
Our bones are the last to melt away.
