normally
	once 
		one is
			vaporised
					it's instant over.
				
	
unusually
	the heat took flight
		as a touch of steam
			    now a whisp of dust
				      no residual radiation.
				
				       
								
this time 
	I melted much too slowly
		 fingertips other warmed
                         freed from sudden chillblains
					a slow cossetting towards safety.
