feral shine
turpentine
in the silver night
under heaven's light
she pours
she spills
amongst Adironacks hills
a spark a blaze
smolder then flame, the haze
she adores
it's the burning season
and there is a ban
she never saw no reason
to restrict fire from the man
in a time with no time to fallow
with only rules and laws to follow
to the night the farmers' trust the burn
then when charred the field will churn
