Listen to the fire
the calmness of the fire
the warm soft heat
the crick crack tap
the first wave of calmness from the fire

listen to the fire
the clap of the fire
the light snip snap
the whoosh crack sizzle
the steady sound
the dancing of the fire

listen to the fire
the roaring soaring fire
the loud curvy
topsy-turvy
the loose angry scream of fire
the bright-burning
crashing turning
screaming fearing fire
leaving all who see’s eyes burning
a tearing crying amazed look

listen to the quiet
the soft calm silence
of the end of the fire
the pop, pop, popping
the slowly slowly stopping
the warm
dark
silent
after-time
of
Fire
