Fire Gazing

The Widow Wyile sits
watching orange purple flames
their log embracing dance
rhythmic smooth flickering
mesmerizing and comforting
embers shimmer and glow
Fanny the eco-fan keeps time
whirring out the beat of
fire’s heat
time slows down
stre t c h e s
pleasant late November
drifting o f f
into her interior
a restful restoring
quiet
zone
