Gillian Swain - 46 - Lava floats

Damp grass a tide around this pyre
black sky flickers   ember
communion   of sky-most leaves
and raucous specks   lava
floats   the ground is hard under us
harder than we expected
eyes concede to glow   crepitation
mesmeric and air is
neither cool nor warm
just a bit further   creek
traces the fracture
of valley   the very crease
between the up and the down
the line of begin and end

    the line of end and begin
