bonfire

the smoke spins away from the flame
like a dervish--
frantically, desperately,
finally

but notice-- as it
arcs away from the immediate
dome of heat,
it slows.

the further it sails away, the
longer it takes to go
until the moment when it begins
to fade from sight

and it appears to be straining
to go backwards.
