Fires Reflection

 Perhaps it's no more than the fire's reflection
on some piece of gleaming furniture
that the child remembers so much later
like a revelation.


And if in his later life, one day
wounds him like so many others,
it's because he mistook some risk
or other for a promise.


Let's not forget the music, either,
that soon had hauled him 
toward absence complicated
by an overflowing heart.
