The idea
Season, day, dying fire. Each image is shorter than the last, so the poem's structure is an accelerating clock. Nothing states that the intervals shrink; the reader assembles it from the three images, which is a structural inference and exactly what the exam rewards.
In practice
Each image is shorter than the last.
Where people slip
The pattern is never stated.
