Fire on the Beach
By Charles Pierre
Driftwood burns more brightly on cold starless nights,
when gray logs washed to smooth indifference by the sea
remember the green vigor of seed time and sapling years
and burst once again in the air through which they sang,
waving as flames of primal color. In this ancient language
is the hot breath of spirit rising above sand and water,
a voice of fire sparkling more brightly than stars can shine.
DALIDA: “Le Torrent” from the film Fading Gigolo by Woody Allen
