coals
having served their purpose
are left to burn
the thrill of a matchstrike
the bold flames foreshadow
a total committment
to ashes
now forgotten
is it kindness
to pour a pail of cold water
over the embers slowly burning alone
ending the lonely vigil
when burning out was all that was left
i stand alone at the waters edge
but i don't enter
for some reason i smile
as i trace your name
in the sand
embers of Lenore
