Fell Fire Reignited

For B2MEM 2018 Day 3 - a poem. Aegnor remembers his fate in the Battle of Sudden Flame.
Format: double dribble, inverted. 


Findis was looking at me, disturbed. Was I dead?
I had been dead. I remember the rushing flame – 
Stronger than any of Ulmo’s waves came terror.
I remember my fear. I, Fell Fire!
I fell to the fire. Nerwen!
My twin, my dearest one – 
But no longer, for
Here I lie.
Aicanáro Arafinwion – 
Reborn.


New life
Awaits me here.
“Where are my scars?”
Findis stirs. “What scars, Nephew?”
“I was burned. The fire – Gundor –“
“Who is this Gundor, Aicanáro? You live.”
“Gundor was my friend.” I weep hot tears.
“Tell me of him, Nephew. Tell me of your friend.”
“Gundor was an Atan. He…buried me.” Findis embraces me.
