A strike of a match
August 16, 2008
From the first flickering flash,
sparkling strike of a sulfurous match.
Brilliantly bright, an amber glow burning.
Fierce and fiery flare, igniting a fevered fury.
A glimpse and a glint, a glittering flame glistening.
But beauty can be brief, in a breath, this blaze begins blistering.
