By granny’s fire
Burning driftwood.
The dancing flames
Were green and blue.
Fire in the hearth:
The flaming heart
Of an old house,
Place of magic.
A rare fine thing
Seen in old pubs,
Often taken,
Cosy, enclosed,
Liminal place,
Shadowy space,
The inglenook.
A quadrille on the theme of the inglenook, suggested by DVerse. Hat-tip to The Skeptic’s Kaddish.
