The flames reveal what the night conceals:
She is sprightly and fægerin that humid night air.
A frame of the moment, incandescent,
Like cereus, that night bloom a joyous
Affirmation of life and the evenings delights.

That silken dervish whirled and whipped
Across the stage, knowing
They are all here to see him.
The molten night warped to his will
As his magnetic movement pulled
Our eyes deeper into the darkness..

A burning lens seared through time
It stretched out to pull me in
A vortex of flame
Linked to a discordant cirque.

The rain falls in the city
I notice not
I care nought
As I stand
Alone
Watching traffic pass
Lives lived
Moments
Ever so fleeting.

With a quick slash
Her fans cut through the air
Like a scythe through wheat.
A fiery lash,
She licked the night sans care
With that plasmic heat.

We will lift you up, we will set you free.
Let loose your fire, girl, come and follow me.
Feel the heat and release your primal scream.
Free your essence, our divine seraphim.

My fascination with the concious manipulation of energy drove me to photograph pyromancy; the manipulation of fire or heat. The photo was taken in the woods where the trees formed a gap, letting a warm ray of light shine down on to my model. To capture the power of manipulation of energies, I placed a staff in one hand to symbolize her control over the natural, physical world and a flame in the other to symbolize her dominion over every. Her piercing skyward gaze was enhanced by brightening up her irises to fully capture the divine knowledge this individual possesses, as well as the bolding of her facial features.
That leap of faith will build you.
Take what you’ve learned and meld you
Into something stronger, pliant or wise.
That leap of faith will guide you
Like a bridge into a new day
Or an arrow arcing across the horizon.
That leap of faith will save you.

Lost behind a veil of embers
A plaintive cry in the dark
Builds into her primal scream
Of passion and joy
While the flames lick her fingers
clean.

These were all taken on the last night of the Buffalo Infringement Festival in Days Park. This was the only Infringement Festival show I was able to work up enough give-a-damn to go to. I dig watching people play with fire.
Pyromancy 1 of 3

The outreached tail of the undine reaches out above the resting hawk. Emotions run higher than reason.
Picture 2

A figure runs to the right escaping the jet of flames from the left.
Picture 3

At the right a crowned figure armed with a sword stands triumphant over a fallen foe.
All of the above scenes are captured with a camera and not the eye. Pretty pictures in the flames have intrigued humans for as long as we have watched them. In the past the only record of the fire was the ashes and the memory.
There are many variant forms of reading fires and of looking into the marks that are created by them. If all else fails enjoy the light and shadow, take on the warmth and share stories with others gathered around the fire, or tell your stories only to the flames and in sharing your stories give hope to dreams.
Pyromancy was formerly classified as one of the seven "Forbidden Arts," it is stated to derive from a combination of the Greek words pyros, “fire,” and manteia, “divination.” It is the art of divination by means of fire, or by signs derived from fire. There is far more than flame reading involved to this ancient fireside activity. A flickering shadow to some may seem to underlie the flame that struck it, yet the shadow is a progression cast from the light. The ashes left at the end of the fire may go some way towards showing the complete picture, or they may be the hidden conclusion to the whole operation.
Pyromancy Origin
Late Middle English ; earliest use found in John Gower (d. 1408), poet. From Middle French pyromance, piromance, pyromancie, pyromantie and its etymon post-classical Latin pyromantia from Hellenistic Greek πυρομαντεία (in a papyrus: the reading is doubtful) from ancient Greek πυρο- + -μαντεία.

That rhythm, that beat,
The pulse that filled the street.
That wall of sound
Even shook the ground.
That blaze of heat
Cooked out flesh like meat.

Look at me
My flash and my fire
Passion and desire
See me
My flames rise higher
Ardor on the pyre

The world keeps spinning
The tide’s forever turning
Good people keep sinning
And war is still burning.
And here I am
Yet here I am.
The boss is skimming
The street’s anger churning
Our future’s hope dimming
For peace we’re yearning.

Torn and twisted
“Give me that fire!”
She insisted.
Passion and pain
“Take this thing higher!”
Do it again.
