watching fire

the fire is the only light to write by tonight
sitting under half starry sky
half cloud ridden and scattered
can barely see the words written
and the unwritten words stay
stuck up in the mind
watching the flame ruins
the night vision eyes just
adjusted then look to the flame
again and ruin the sight all over again
watching as the fire tears in the log
and eats it up to ash and dust
the flame wraps around the logs
fire reaches to the sky
as if it's got to get there quick
watching the fire twist in the wind...
