One last look at the trail of fire
Left by other people's desire
Was it worth it? She'll ask
"Every second" as I fall asleep
For another twenty years
Just to see you again
Before burying you once more
And waking up with the mud on my chest
And your memory in daydreams
About the Creator
Vili
Bitter patter
FPS: The Last Flame Challenge Winners
Welcome to our first Winners Announcement of the year and to the final challenge in the Fall Poetry Series. The Last Flame invited writers to sit with endings, using fire as a central image to consider what remains when something burns out: ash, warmth, memory, silence, or the faint promise of what comes next. The strongest pieces treated endings as gradual rather than sudden, allowing them to flicker, dim, and linger.
