Apparition in fire

consumes

 

chimeric flame

communes

 

ghosts of the past

exhumed

 

from pyre to flight

    This illustrates why Neil Ellman is the unrivaled king of ekphrastic poetry. His poem mirrors the simplicity and elegance of the image, his words convey a narrative suggested in the living-ness of the photo. Outstanding.
