And Though The Horizon Burns Spectacular

I'll walk you home if it gets dark,
but we both know that
you've only just arrived.

And though the horizon burns spectacular,
wailing rain drapes
will goad us to stay in and kiss

until the fire is out, when oranges and pinks
fade to hues of blue, cool and smooth
steam reaching from the street to the jaundiced moon.
