Poem 285 – small flames

Vanessa Shields

small flames

small candle flames tonight
thick-wicked & steady
but the fire height – short

wait…
they’re flickering now
do they know I’m writing about them?
are they showing off?
moving to the beat of these words?
dancing to the purple heat of a flaming dance floor?
