Growing bored with her
death, Alice James
Found that by twiddling
her fingers just so
She could tie candle flames
in knots.
Since a knotted flame
cannot go out
Her house was left filled
With small but persistent
fires.
A German bomb during the
Blitz
Set them free to
wander.
One, at least, made it to Milwaukee
Where it has been seen
hovering
Over the grave of her
brother Garth.
