It begins
the Fall of Night
Darkness embraces life
Saturating the light
Dim violet flames
The Fire Dervish

With Burning Heart

Tends a garden
of Flame

Solstice
December 22, 2007
Let this flame lessen the Dark of this the longest Night so that the Sun may find us well come Morning.
May the Dark conceal you from Fear
May the new Light never blind you
Coal Burning Fire
November 21, 2007The 200 watt bulb illuminates
A rusting Pot Belly Stove
Snow turns to steam
Rising from the furnace
As a damp December snow
Attempts to mask it’s presence
Low ceiling clouds lie obscured
By the nights indifference
Christmas trees placed around the stove
Form a shelter against the wind
Huddling within the alcove a man
Stealing the warmth for himself
Feeding the diminishing flame
He takes a stone from the pile
Woolen fingers open the grate
Tossing a lump of coal
Into the low banked
Crimson fire
He leaves the grate open
To watch the stone ignite
Thin wisps of black flame
creep along the edges
Of burning stones
That once covered the world
As continental swamps
Teeming with Life
In the silent quintessence
Of the snowy eve
A man is pulled
Into embers
Older than his race
