Bonfire

Dark night

strike match

tiny light

twigs catch

strike match

flame unfurls

twigs catch

smoke curls

flame unfurls

smoke grows

smoke curls

smoke billows

smoke grows

eyes smart

smoke billows

move apart

eyes smart

flames creep

move apart

flames leap

flames creep

growing bright

flames leap

sparks take flight

growing bright

throw on timber

sparks take flight

glowing embers

throw on timber

let it burn

glowing embers

smoulder down

let it burn

warm as toast

smoulder down

potatoes roast

warm as toast

flames gone

potatoes roast

embers warm

flames gone

last glow

embers warm

fading now

last glow

tiny light

fading now

dark night
