Poetry
Emberdown
Keep the glow to carry on
Walk over levels of land
Waiting for the end of the horizon
Cast with a palimpsest sky
Scraped of clouds to brighten again
Once the storm layers have made the bed.

There are flashes of what used to be
Maybe they’ll set fire to the layers
A crackle to break everything
Clean and light once more
No longer stuffed with dust.
Greys give way to amber
Sinking sun etching all edges
Illuminating the end of us
A spark to guard against the dark
I gather the glow and walk on
Finding the horizon
And all the fireworks.
