Faces in the News
Set aglow on a winter's night
Bursting into amber flame
Combating eerie, mournful light
Darkness to which none lay claim
Huddled by the bricken ingle
Crouched upon a tired knee
Weathered fingers fold and mingle
Crumpling gossipy decree
Balled up in crinkling complaint
Laid upon the ashen floor
Serving to grow a spark so faint
To the warmth that all implore
Every row of text contorted
Stony faces in the news
Lies and hate and crime reported
Melted into inky blues
An ode to one who remembers
A greedy consuming roar
Cast away in floating embers
Smoky ghosts of modern lore
Every word is lost by morning
Where only ash remains
A modestly potent warning
To the press' bitter stains
