“Heavenly Fire by Stewart Stafford The Stygian hole of abandon, Overlaid with a sentry 's cloak, Now unmasked eyes can see, Perforations in astral ermine. Stars crash to this plain, In all their splintered finery, As a missive of mortal status, Decreeing fire is not of this earth. Like the casting down of Lucifer, Or Prometheus pirating Zeus's flame, And when giant reptiles vanished, Quiet gratitude for this deep shelter. © Stewart Stafford, 2022.

Heavenly Fire by Stewart Stafford
The Stygian hole of abandon,
Overlaid with a sentry 's cloak,
Now unmasked eyes can see,
Perforations in astral ermine.
Stars crash to this plain,
In all their splintered finery,
As a missive of mortal status,
Decreeing fire is not of this earth.
Like the casting down of Lucifer,
Or Prometheus pirating Zeus's flame,
And when giant reptiles vanished,
Quiet gratitude for this deep shelter.
