burnin' love

Campfire Song

I burn this fire within a ring, I sing this song within a round,

Strumming strings of heat strung between

The metered measures of our hollow bodies
To flicker flame-like notes of romantic melody

Drawing moth while soothing savage.

I sing this fire within a round, I burn this song within a ring,

Sending embers of EveryGoodBoyDoesFine
Into the shiver of winter's Jack Frost sky
To dance before the ice blue bowl of stars
Hung high, draped low beyond our shoulders.
