Branko Miljkovic - Praise to fire


She has nobody
but the Sun and I. 

She shows herself to a wanderer
Shows herself to a sly one
Shows herself to a loving one

Nothing's lost in fire
Only concised

At the ends of a fire
objects that don't sparkle
or do anything to stand out
last in someone else's time

A bird that alone makes a flock
Flies out of her

Take a handful of fresh ash
or anything else that's past
and you'll see it's still fire
or that it can be
