resort was crowded
because all holiday makers
descended here
and found fire
but no fire flies
ire of those
who came late and
complained, there was
no friendship here, no allies
i am now sitting quiet,
waiting for the crowd to thin
and may be then
there will be vapour in the crucible
placed on the fire
with a few tears saved from yesterday night
when i met her
alone and devoid of all stinging
nettles
she often tied in her hairs
