the careful bonfire

tricky having a bonfire
in your back yard
these days.
the dry woods to deal with,
the neighborhood watch,
the community board,
the law itself about burning
things in the open.
it used to be you could
just toss things into
a pile, old memories,
douse them with gasoline
and have a go at it.
what a pleasure it was
to see an old world die.
