Smoking Fire Amid Frozen Terraced Paddies

by Connie Bird

A small fire burns on the edge of a field where frost still coats the grass in pale white patches. Thick gray smoke curls upward against a horizon glowing with the soft orange light of early morning. Below, terraced rice paddies form stepped rows of water that reflect the sky, creating shimmering silver lines between the earth. The water surfaces gleam brightly, catching the low sun and breaking into scattered points of brilliance across the dark soil. The fire crackles with small orange flames that lick at the dry stems, sending ash into the still air. Frost crystals rest on the grass blades near the burning pile, melting slightly where the heat reaches them. The geometric lines of the terraces guide toward the distant haze, while the smoke drifts lazily to the left, marking the passage of time in this brief arctic summer.
