Fire/ Dream
Ryan Costello
The voices fade and the dark Has swallowed up the stars I climbed the bending arc And made the kindling start Fire in the night Lay my head down Let the smoke pull me Into a dream Fire in the night The branches are bending The leaves are curling All around me The needles waft their pitch And the air is dry and crisp The smoke melts in the mist Aand wraps me in its fist
