We make fires out here.
You learn how pretty young. It's a good way to keep the night at bay without destroying it completely. The new cities light up like beacons, but out here it's different. Beyond those walls that seem to touch the sky we find a balance. Light in the dark, shadow in the sun. The tide rolls in and out, and we go with it.
We make the fires on the beach most nights. Other times we climb up into the mountains and light them there. The flames surge up and down the coast as we shepherd them.
Sometimes things remain. Tiny pieces of light that glow under the ash when the fire's died out. Sharp-petaled roses washed up on the shore when the tide lowers.

I stare too long at them, wondering what makes me reach out and place them in a box.
I hold what remains to my chest, unsure why. Then reluctantly, I let them go.
