Campfire

Over years I have built
one hundred fires
(give or take)
for cooking and camaraderie
for stories and bug-repelling smoke
but always, every time
there is a deep abiding satisfaction
to coax from stick and match and time
this fundamental benefaction
there is a certainty
in the flame, a rightness
in line with what should be.
