“Ring of Fire” (June Carter Cash / Merle Kilgore; sung into history by Johnny Cash, 1963). A ring of flame stands face-on in the dark, tongues of turbulence licking off its rim, embers lifting away. One paper-white spark falls in from above and cannot help itself: it circles, crosses the fire — flaring where it touches — and spirals down, down, down into the black at the center. Its pulse along the way is steered by the mariachi trumpet hook, one beat per note. Love, as combustion.
