Glowing ash trickling through the air one by one
Illuminated by black night floating into nothing
Vestiges of a great act of liberation
Bastard children of a sacrifice to a starving idol
The burning embers are remnants of a bridge
A bridge that once held meaning and moments
Now immolating into fire to light my way
The fire consumes and subsumes the grand bridge of our affections
It is just a pyre of smoke and flame here to light my path
Burning embers swirl through the blue purple night sky dancing around me
As I tread my fire-lit path away from what we were
Burning embers burning bridges to light my way away from us
