Entropic

Mid-candle flame
    can no more interchange 
    with initial frame 
    of when first lit, 
tip of yet unlit wick. 
Flame as it is, 
its current existence,
    is conditioned
    from burning thence. 
As flame that exists 
    is consequence of 
    what was consumed
    fore hence, 
 So I,
    all since.
