seventeenth: glow of our fire

One day, I will see what you meant that day on the cliffs.

Daring me to take the steep dive down, else die trying.

You wanted me to find that glittering smile, the bright hands that clasped our altar.


We both thought I'd never stumble, because I rarely faltered in my convictions

So how could you think I would fall?

Godlike smoulders, ashes dark and faded in the glow of our fire.
