Forest Fire

Some loves

arrive as quietly

as mornings

in a forest.

Jets of daylight

burst through the

foliage and trickle

down branches,

gulping along

their way the

minty night from

cold leaf-tips.

It then sips into

the ferny bed,

caressing our

fallen leaves with

a rekindled hope.

Now when such

love sets on us,

it is obviously no

regular dusk.

For the receding

light of our

wounded souls,

scatters the sky

with scarlet grief,

as the diving winds

brush our unrequited

ends to stoke a

gouging fire.
