In Our Stove


              [Norma photo]


A log can burn,
Release years
Of gathered sunlight
From its rings.
We also burn,
Metabolize the
Ageless light
Of things--
Far fires,
Stars unknown--
And to the
Light of stars
Return our own.

  2. Loved the poem and we could almost do with the fire here in Perth today. Our first cool day for about 3 months. Only 20C (68F) today which is a big shock to the system after so many hot days in the high 30Cs.
