He crawled out of the fireplace, I swear it!
Pouring streams of flame from hand to hand
Watching it drip like rain from his fingertips
No, I didn't imagine it!
Why don't you believe me?
His face glowed like embers
Hair like sparks flew wild
around his head.
He gathered bits and drips of flame into a ball
dropped it out onto the papers
And whooooosh
How he laughed!
How he roared!
Rolled across the floor
Danced up the walls
Danced...and was gone
See! Broken black footprints
Mark the path of his mirth
No, I didn't imagine him
I swear it
