Distant Fire

 
(~2012~)



 Haunt of the earth bred spark
 silky skin of light to a dragon's sight...
 a gossamer sign
 in gunmetal eyes-

 breath & heights
 for naught, or night,
 or high on the notion
 of time & rise, movement-

 a scribbled mind to a paper sky,
 or the boulder'd arms of burning barns-

 fire,
 in the distance
 (sigh)
 take your place
 on the mist & mile-

 scrape a spade to spark
 & dip your wings
 to 'x' the mark...

 our highways smile
 with wayward thoughts,

 our gibbering skies
 chase the mind,
 a skin of ceiling
 hides the fire...

 but I still see you in the distance.
