Cupped fire in the twilight
The face,
the point of light,
the smoke
Vigil prelude

Fire

Burnt offering

Staring

What flares up, though, disappears
What flares up, though, disappears,
the fire no more a fire than
the one blown by a boy’s
painted truck,
little men on ladders
now descending,
packing it in,
smiles all around
The ego needs proof till its dying day
Yes it made sense: you made sense of it.
You slept with and solved every problem,
etching equations in glass verified
by daylight and the empty space beside you.
The night was your cloudy mind projected –
against it you appointed pointless sticks
to a pointless fire –
your altar to you, but you did it because
you could.
