Wind is to fire like distance is to love

Wind is to fire like distance is to love;

it extinguishes the small and enflames the great.

Without a need for stilts or girders,

the crow-bound walker

spins the earth.

The light from passing cars

caught in his eyes like an optical illusion,

or the wing-strokes of a single moth.

Without any need for ceremony,

or even conscious thought,

he is off, in the direction of the next light.
