This is the flight and the flame,
a flock of geese at sunset,
the passing and the frame.
Death requires a name,
demands sense and yet,
this is the flight and the flame.
So loudly the elder claim
that children pay their debt.
The passing and the frame.
Fiercely the children shame,
unmask, outlive and resurrect.
This is the flight and the flame.
They uncover the deadly aim,
cleanse, survive, pay respect.
This is the flight and the flame,
the passing and the frame.
