Fireside by Meg Burrows

Reduce, change, revolve and lift,

you the flames of tumbling wit,

do whisper me some stranger’s sighs,

all in secret, at firesides.

But swift and quick, the embers growl

a jealous heat does smother now

the beauty that lay in the smoke

that held the words, the flames you spoke.
