A crackle from wet wood
Tossed carelessly into a blazing bonfire
Making sparks and ash explode
From this contained pit
Stuttering and spewing
Like fireflies during summer's night
Is there a hidden desire
Emanating from these glowing flames
Ascending as a smoke toward swollen rain clouds
But dissipating into nothingness
Before it began to pour.
