INEVITABLE
The flame shimmers
To bright, dim.
White and yellow. Will it survive?
The wind slippery and furtive
The flame cries, back and forth.
Flapping----goodby----help?
Out!-------------Recoil!
Just a glow.
Smoke ripples. It's GONE!
NO! Almost sorcerous-------acerbic smells.
Covert!
Quickening and life bursts.
The end fateful.
Life retreats.
Life force dissolves
Never to return.
