What started as a series of thoughts

twinged by a distant ache

Has conspired to invade me entirely

Now, I'm a goner

Water rushes through my bones

Images of a signal Fire

driven mad by a capricious Wind

howling through those glowing silhouettes

The Shoulders of the Earth

And my delight, the aboriginal...

squatting and tossing sparks

into the night time sky

All of this is suspended behind

a barely suppressed grin
