Shadows dance, choreographed by flames.

Smoke flicks up into the night, towards oblivion.

The pyre, the gloom, the burnish.

Sun and Moon struggle for dominance in the dawning sky.

Clouds drift on past, heavy with their tears.

Earth rumbles and rolls over to continue her slumber.

The aubade, the nebulosity, the terra.

Wind whistles in symphony with the birds.

The solemn hymn whispered with the leaves.

The trees sway to the orchestra.

The zephyr, the foliole, the weald.

The stagnant lake reflects the chaos.

The static.

The ataxia.
