The Flame

Published October 11th, 2020 by Oldmenadmin

                                 The

                        Flame,

              yellow in

       the dark of

       the dining room

   with the dark table

      I polished every Saturday 

    with Old English, wavered in 

   the quiet talk meant to soothe, as

the howling wind rattled windows

of the house on Moreland   

Road, first home remem-

bered—first 

hurricane,

Too

!
