Controlled Burn: Poem 3

--

Almost blurred in the subtlety of its mutation.

Motion, not because of quickness,

but because of consciousness flickering,

steps forth.

Light hits in a wash

exposing all the details

before its reach pulls away.

Boy, are things changing fast.

More than those fucked up fingers can handle.

Laying down the barrier between a verdant spring and a crumpled winter.

They can sure move though,

floating about the heat

with the movement of smoke puddled in the valley

and dusk charging in

stealing light.
