Fire on Ice by Barry DeCarli

photography by Barry DeCarli.

fire on ice

from an unyielding sky
her resolute race west paused

here
her fire dances across
the melting ice
her glimmering flames
more than illusion
splash nothing but cold light
flickering  against this wet veneer
beckoning evening

her light lay puddled
in momentary reflection
reckoning day with twilight
