blue flame

The world passed by
In flashes of orange and red.
Fire burning,
Leaping mindlessly
From the building
Like autumn leaves
From the trees.

But you were a blue flame.
Focused heat,
Intensity.

Inhaling the chemicals,
You breathed out your small light,
Concentrated your rage
Into a hush.
Beautiful,
But a danger to touch.

A blue flame
In the midst of autumn,
Immortal.
