Slivers

Fire sparks.

Slivers of wood

jump to the ground

burning embers

until they turn to ash

.

My soul is a burning sliver

Mixing with dirt and rain

Confused and waiting

for other pieces

of me to return.

.

At last the fire sparks again

more slivers rocket

to the muddy ground

We are rejoined

And together we burn

Through the night.
