i was also struck by that reflection line, mainly because that's not what I would have chosen, and in that way it works. The rest of the images were... very nearly turbulent, or maybe not, but definitely powerful. Particularly fire in the mud. So "reflection" became a jarring moment of clarity that turned the whole meaning of the poem on its head. Great work
PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
