around the fire

ah, what could have been
they say
around this fire.
their canes
touching the flames,
pushing the logs
to raise
the flames higher.
what could have been.
the one that got
away.
the one that stayed.
the memories are
wet
in the old men's eyes.
going quiet, going quiet
as the fire
dies.
