Embers to the darkened sky,
see them lift on paper wings;
flutter, glowing butterflies,
fairy lights, glorious things!
Carried on the slightest breeze,
sound of sparkles, crackle-ing.
Is it magic? Do they fly
away to other darkened skies?
...Or do they, as all embers must,
fade back down
--as common dust?

The title is Spanish for "ashes".
Don't ask me why the title is Spanish when the rest of the poem is English. It just fit. My parents built a bonfire to burn some old wood that was lying around the house. Lot of paper and cardboard, too. Paper is so light, it lifts itself up on the breeze still burning. |

The photonotes.org Dictionary of Film and Digital Photography is one place to stop and get it all answered. This is quite a valuable resource that explains in depth what a photography term means, and will help those understand who might not know what something is. |

Two-headed boy, she is all you could need
She will feed you tomatos and radio wires
And retire to sheets safe and clean
But don't hate her when she gets up to leave
