There's a fire in the sky I can't

#1

There’s a fire in the sky I can’t
Put out.
My eyes are timid and dry -
Wading in yours,
Sinking in the colors
Or the farthest reaches.
Some nectarine sunset
Enveloped in the endless,
Incessant or day dreamed.
Like that time the night burned out;
We whispered as we parted,
So as not to disturb.
We were quenched
Like a sea inside
And a people freed.
We shall not secede.
