last flame whispers to

the ground; red-gold shout before

winter's ash descends

    “Winter’s ash” has a certain imagery power to it.

    This one has that sense of mourning. I love the way it pushes into a flame whisper. How we see it fall to the ground. Winters ash. I like the way you phrased that. Nice work L.C ❤️🤗
