Ignis Fatuus

by Clara Mae Gregory

Foolish fire
First consumes
The match
That burns
The forest
Within us.

OHHH Wow! I love this! It screams of passion and leaves me wanting more!

splendid metaphor, as was ever uttered by the Smokey the Bear resident in us. But what can poets do? To burn such forests within themselves is not only their vocation but our illumination.
