Stoking a Flame

In raw blackness 
you want to find fireflies 
in the hedges.

Green on green 
I ambush the chill 
of a dying moon.

Silently you meditate, 
as the fog descends 
settling discreetly-

on your thoughts.
A cat jumps the wall 
in pursuit of a game.

Why to recall the father’s 
death. In autumn night 
I will break the vow.
