flecks of fire flitter to the floor
making the shapes of monsters, faces and butterflies galore
bandits on the run
the fire is their only sun
crumple the newsprint and snap the twig
spotlight on our own little gig
mom jeans and scarves of silk
chocolate chip cookies and milk
extinguish the flame and venture in the dark
little bits of ash framing our mark
