Cool White Dawn
Cool
White
Dawn

We were looking at charred remains,
embers not as bright since a chill dawn --
still
white
smoldering --
nothing compared to the colors sparking a black night.

A fuel-soaked concoction enflamed —
glowing romance softened eyes,
brushed hues on two pale faces —
rose-boned skin inspired
by wood,
used
up.

We lingered too long.
Now this thing
is ash.
