the northwest casts a particular spell: when the sun comes out, you forget it ever rains here. as days grow longer, nights become more inviting. the moon has seen it all before but i wonder if it can pick out this tiny spark, a brushpile releasing stored solar energy in terrestrial flame. i didn't expect it to burn so long, thick green alder roots don't catch easy and even burned halfway through are still too supple to break down. but i played the small game, carefully placed the tiniest of twigs to keep feeding the fire to itself, breathed new life into it every time it threatened to expire. sarah went to bed and i sat with my thoughts but i must not have been paying attention because they slipped off, leaving me mute under the stars. |
