Around midday,
a substantial pile
of tree clippings,
is set alight.
It requires
careful
manipulation,
constant
monitoring,
and meticulous
re-arranging.
Over time,
the pile
is reduced,
to a fraction
of its original size.
Light rain,
swirling winds,
do not dampen
its heat.
Many hours pass,
day
turns to night,
midnight approaches,
the fire smoulders on.
