Heat!
March 20, 2014
The dance is ignited with a click
Its beat, slowly mesmerizing its viewers
Crisp reds and vivacious yellows battle on stage
Gradually its tempo builds
The docile waltz accelerates
Into a rapid salsa
Cracks and popples compose the climax of the blaze
The scent of smoke warms the heart like a standing ovation
As slowly as it began it decrescendos into a smoldering pile of charred remains
Life is extinguished as the curtain falls on the captivating performance
Once again the theater is cast into darkness
