Incident

We tell the story every year—

how we peered from the windows, shades drawn—

though nothing really happened,

the charred grass now green again.

at the cross trussed1 like a Christmas tree,

the charred grass still green. Then

we darkened our rooms, lit the hurricane lamps.

the wicks2 trembling in their fonts of oil.

The wicks trembled all night in their fonts of oil;

by morning the flames had all dimmed.
