An allegory of conception and birth.

Forest


Kindling sticks fire best.
Single glint of flint nest.
Fanning tinder’s glowing loam.
Flames’ tender growing home.

Sudden lightening strikes the fire.
Turbulence thunders, a singing crier.
A wiggling, licking, growing flame.
Consuming now, in common name.
