Fire Folk
In all that seamless night
the one tearing lightning rift
flashed blindness upon her.
Like the sun breaking through
a black gowned sky-for a moment
he shone into her night-wide eyes.
Then without breeze or caress,
in the time of the withered leaf
he disappeared, leaving her to journey
with one sense less towards senselessness.
