VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: COPPER FLAME

Two black bin bags
Full of things to burn
Set side by side
In the angle between
House and garage

The red tipped swan
Burned my fingers
As it burned down
When I lit the fire clumsily

The flames consumed
With heat and smoke
Of burning

Coils of copper wire
Snaked through the flames
Writhing with thermal death
Giving out blue beauty
And green emeralds
In their dying throes

Then it was over
Almost before the end.
