when a blaze is untamed
it can change color randomly
I am on the edge of flames.
heat clings to shadows
they bake and crack with enchantment
to become shades of violet
and surface blues
than eclipsing reds
inventive brilliance
see into the inferno
where smoke combines with distant specks of
far away
wait for it to split open
and crumble then scatter.
Now I am here.
I am in this place
of ashen wooden ruins and howling spirits.
inside worshipped waves of fire
others try to extinguish me
they swell over my charred remains
I rock and crackle
everyone opens their eyes wide
no matter how hard they tried
None succeeds in putting out the flames.
