Charcoal
orange-black vanguard of the moon
Flaming phoenix
Flaming phoenix
brought down in mid-flight.
Glowing, boiling, churning
Glowing, boiling, churning
Seething, crusting, burning
Slowly
Dying
Slowly
Dying
ember of the night.
*
Not this light,
a comfort in the dark
This, a torch
This, a torch
in meaner strangers' caves,
Burned out not long ago,
Burned out not long ago,
still smoldering as though
Alive
Seeking
Alive
Seeking
misbehaving slaves.
*
Neptune silent,
fireball breaks through...
Fiery feather
Fiery feather
crashing to the sea.
Extinguished
Extinguished
by the pool
of ether, nature's drool
Floating
Softly
Floating
Softly
settling down
with ease.
