fog shadows and faded light
the pale cloud remnant of familiar face
reflects grey shrouded flame and fire
bloodied red explosive destruction
in a magnificent midnight bloom.

upward glancing
to melancholy moon
a languorous lament
for this unexpected falling star.

code words and call signs
misplaced in panic,
as the iron bound lucifer
drops from the sky
illumination exultant
slow motion settles
into a delicate fountain
of ash and dust.
