Ignis Fatuus by guild member Brian Melton. On display at the Beautiful Mystery Focus Gallery located at the Folk Art Center, NC.
She’s a figment of literary imagination, but maybe she’s real after all. The trail on the flats is clear in the moonlight without a need for dad’s blue, four D cell Maglite. I’ve walked the trail more times than I can count, but I don’t think I’ll have to worry about her charming call out here. Besides, if I were her, I’d make my home down in the hemlock thicket where it’s evening in the middle of the day. Maybe all along she was the allure of a different place, like that would make everything better. Maybe all along she was the city lights that never were as pretty as the stars anyway. I missed those stars.
