Description
He wore black pants.
He wore sandals.
Arms and chest, naked to the night, caught the glow of fire in a glossy sheen of sweat. The waft of smoke carried itself like the half-substantial veil of feminine modesty. It was, however, an immodest night of music and flames, of dancing. Beer, a welcome companion at any joyous gathering, spun firelight into liquid gold, while men—two of them—threw wild and complex shapes into the night with passion and with flames.
Those moments are gone now, but—of course—their memory remains.
There will be other nights. Other dances among other people. And someone among them may wear black pants, sandals, and sweat as he draws shapes from the passion of wild flames.

Ooh. I really like this one (narrative and photo) ~ Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful the dance of life.
Wow. Just. WOW. (and it looks more than a bit dangerous!)
Night, fire, magic, joy - they're never totally gone, they leave more in our hearts than a memory!
Another great capture of this dangerous ocupation Chip, I love the whirling effect here!
Well said and captured. The image has a quality of an abstraction. I recognized the "flesh" only after reading your narrative. Regards, Igor.
I love your comment, and the way the dancer seems to enter a wormhole of fire...
Fearless and undaunting these guys must be.
