Wildfire. You know I love you.

Passion enflames my desire to burn;

Then from ashes reclaim your heart anew.

Ok reading these was a wild ride. Very much enjoyed it!

Yes, it very much - ahem - caught fire.

Response burns the songs that get replayed. Memory fades but returns to haunt the mores most often thought disturbed with time flashes in the frying pan of years cracking eggs.

Infernal furnaces pump out the dance of possession in Philadelphia, Brixton, the avenues of Carshalton Beaches, Chicago Subways. Your radio static charges urban edifice, beachfront, village skyline. Feel is the rhythm, remembrance the beat.

Burn baby burn

Isn’t it a pity- doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city

I’m currently on a train. All around should be grateful I haven’t launched into an impromptu ocarina solo (not least because I don’t possess an ocarina!)

You can hum. Play with a rubber band renown for passing train times. No tickets needed for a ride. Go coach a passenger on the love train down the tracks clack clack. Next stop Chicago music.

Build your dream house in

The foothills. Look at the view!

And now it's on fire.

“Shhh, if you call it, it will come.”

The "Wildfire" in the song is a horse, not a real wildfire.

😂 I believe a horse will also come if you call it.

Forest dry as tinder,

wind arid and insistent -

A hot look could ignite a conflagration.

Distended fingers,

Bleached and curled, knuckle to nail:

These used to be trees

Flame on, dearest heart

He will not look your way now

His chill builds your fire

Expand full comment

Oh man! I love this take!

Thanks! I like to see the symbolism in things, and flame often denotes strong passion.

Drunk, alone, and cold

Nodding while embers blow wide

Sparking trails of death

So dark and tragic, and probably close to the truth at times. Well done🖤

Based on true story of a wildfire in Texas. Homeless man’s campfire started it.

Wow, says so much about us as a society😞

A wall of fierce flames,

And flickering within them,

A glimpse of Hell's Gates... 😎
