A fire in the woods to keep warm, at first two missing mobile homes found in a devastating way We smile, settle into one another cheeks blooming pink turned ruddy from the burn our eyes mesmerized by orange dancing light around dry branches, twigs, l e a v e s the air wet from rain yesterday's
steam rises as the flame crackles spits beat of our vibration And we stayed seated across in silence our bodies pull to be closer no one moved our heartbeats in sync eyelids pressed closed afraid as much as it felt complete tears stained cheeks everlasting
the moon blurred into the sun through days gravity pressed onto our shoulders lulling into the forest floor until the fire turned feather ash
