A Winter Bonfire

27 9 13
                                    

When all else is dead, a black mulch

Around bare trees that worship the

Barren fields with bone-raw hands,

These flames howl with life, dancing,

Skittering with pop and crack as they

Sing bright songs of defiance against

Mist-shrouded hills and flooded fields,

‎Feasting greedily on woodland corpses.
