down to few.
            mutts take life. Fire fading
Words offer strength. berries Fire and Words
to die together but stopped.
            the games are over.

            life goes on but Fire smolders.
            embers remain hot.
75th tragedy. Victors to have one victorious.

                        where is Primrose?
Fire wants to die. Words say no.

Fire rebuilds. Words remember.

                                                                                  together they grow
                                                                                  together they stand
                                                                                  forever as one.
