The Fire Walk

There’s a trick to
walking across a bed of coals
hot enough to melt an engine block

The trick
at least the first time
is to watch someone do it
like a spring walk in the park
bare feet soft on dew-wet grass

The no trick at all
is to follow them along that path

Author’s experience was in the Big Sur area near Monterey California
