Allegory of the campfire

I have gathered 
Spring
Summer
and Fall
scraps of love,
chewed them
and dried them
in the moonlight. 

Darkness gathers around 
our fired heart-
heated kindling. 
Do not blink,
witness the release,
of reconstituted fiery angels. 

These dancing ember dreamsmiths,
wheeling and whirling dervishes, 
paint upon the scrim of abyss- 
naked shadowgraph lovers
who kiss the stars
and the universe goodnight.
